The Comfort of God Draws Me Closer

What Now Brings Me Comfort

Blocked Out, Buried and Burrowed Before!

How Can He Know What We Think
When We Are Standing on The Brink

The Lord’s Light Sheds Life
He Searches Our Hearts
Understands Our Deepest Parts

Let Him In
And Do Not Hide
For He Always Wants to Be Our Guide

#aHeartCarriedAway ♥️ Thankful that He Knows My Inner Thoughts 💭

Own Your Thoughts and Take Them to Him!

I used to Eeek 😦 and Ugh 😣 when I would think something, that I knew was not very Christ-like.

Now in the middle of those thoughts 💭

I own them, take them to Him immediately and ask His Spirit to fill my soul, it draws me closer to Him, instead of pulling us apart.

Truly a relationship with my Savior. 🔥
