The Lover of my Soul is:

compassionate, gracious, His ways are PERFECT!, His kindness is increrdible, He is Holy, abounding love, He longs to love me, gives me joy, His tender arms are strong and mighty, yet He holds me when I''m down, His hands create the most beautiful artwork i will ever see: radiant sunshine, jaw dropping sunsets, the miracle of life, lovely landscapes and so forth
His face is so radiant and holy that no one can see it. Yes, He's my King! His faithfulness reaches to the skies, but yet He brings justice to the oppressed, He is my life, my love, my joy.... Yes, He's my King!

He loves me at my worst. When I'm broken, scared and feel I have no where else to go, He reminds me His arms are open, waiting for me to rest upon Him<3 Thank you God for being so GREAT!

When I am afraid my "Eternal God is my Refuge." When I need a hug He holds me in "His everlasting arms." (Deut. 33:27) He never tires of holding me. I am safe in His strong hands.

His love is unconditional. His Words are encouraging and uplifting. His rebuke is gentle. He never left my side even through the darkest times. He's always there, and always will be. His love is forever, He himself is Love. Divine Love. Unconditional and Unending Love.

He teaches me the way the go, and guides me even when I can't see. He is my hope, my life, my love.

He loved me before I knew him, and he'll never let me go.

Everyday I fall deeper and deeper in love with him. What a beautiful romance, what a Lover I have in Jesus! <3

He is the ONE voice that I listen for when I'm feeling insecure about who I am as a woman, as a mother, as a wife...

No insecurities or fears are too great for HIM to handle and He always rescues me from the darkness of my own mind and the voices that try to creep in and undermine me.

I can truly cast all my cares and fears on Him and he holds me closer than any earthly love is capable. He has always loved me even when I did not love Him, and for that I will be eternally grateful. I fall in love with Him more and more everyday and yearn for the day when I will see Him face to face.

He is my best friend.. I can turn to him in my pain, I can cry like a baby too him and he doesn't judge me. I can go to him when I am mad and hurt and he comforts me. I can tell him of the things that went wrong and he reminds me of all he has already done. I can tell him my secrets and he won't tell them to anyone or use it against me.. He laid down his very life for me so I can have a reconciled to my Father in Heaven.. His Name is Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords. Kings of Kings....My best friend.

He loves me, he knows me, he understands me, he heals me, and he takes pleasure in me. WOW.

Psalm 147 ( the whole chapter, but the following is my favorite parts)

2The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

3He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

4He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

5Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

6The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

7Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

9He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

11The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
love him!

Thank you for this blog post! I feel like there are a few people that brag about their men and I'm young so I'm not dating yet, but now I will be able to talk about my Lover-- Christ Jesus who never fails me! :D how great is that?

Something that I have really learned to trust in God lately is that He is there for me NO MATTER WHAT! I try to be in control of my life and God humbles me and shows me I cannot do it by myself-- He is my Lord and I all do will please Him.

Thanks again for this post, it has been really encouraging also to read what you think God is! (:

John 15:13-15 says; "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his froends. You are one of my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."
That is so true. He fills up that hole in your heart. It's kinda like your heat is a lock. You try so many different keys, but none work. Then you try the golden key and it is unlocked. Isn't it great that God wants to be our friends.

Love ya'll,

Marriage Covenant Includes 3!
on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at 7:25 pm

My God is the 3rd partner in my awesome marriage relationship with my wonderful husband. Things aren't always roses between us, but I can honest confess, as a woman married over 20 years now, I can look back and see what I thought was important (the ring, the house, the kids, the nice car, job, etc.) were SO unimportant.

I fought and fought against my husband to have those but I didn't get the Lord's happiness until I let Him take a hold of my husband's heart. I realized one day if in Peter 3:1 "In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives," if God expects this behavior of a woman toward an unsaved husband, how much more could He do to my husband's heart who was already saved.

Even if you haven't met the man the Lord has for you yet, start with that mindset now. Your life will be greatly blessed in ALL respects.

My God is caring, compassionate, and always there for me. Even when I turn away from Him, He comes to me. He always reminds that I'm beautiful, inside and out.

I know this is off subject, but I had track practice today and I'm EXHAUSTED :p In fact, so exhausted that I wouldn't be able to go to youth group. but guess what? Now I'm going :)

He's my very best friend. It's so comforting to know that when I made a mistake I can ask forgiveness and put it behind me knowing that He forgave me and still loves me just the same. Yeah, I know, imagine what his voice must be. Reading Chronicles of Narnia always reminds me of heaven and makes me long for it. It's so easy to get caught up in this life and forget about the life to come. When I feel uncool and boring cause I don't have lots of friends I remember that I have the best friend anyone can ever have.

Jesus Lover of My Soul

The real secret to joy and happiness lies in Jesus Lover of my soul. No human lover can replace Him. Nor can one really love fully without the real Lover of My Soul Jesus. I looked up the hymn, very old one written in 1700s by Charles Wesley. What a magnificent discourse of what it is really all about. Jesus I love him more every day and can love my husband more because of Jesus' love. Praise His holy name. Tears well up in my eyes and slide down my cheeks as I have read the above blogs entries. Cherish that Name, of Jesus. I just had to get it off my heart and share. Thank you! Is there an age limit on this blog?

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13

Due to some areas in my life that went really differently than how I planned them, I started to feel like I had no hope left. Just recently, God led me to this verse through the help of a faithful pastor. I wasn't living like I was serving a God of hope but a God of disappointment. This verse daily reminds that I have a intimate Father/Daughter relationship with the Creator of hope itself! So even on the bad days, I know that I can live with a quiet joy and confidence in the fact that I have a hope that does not die! (Or like the verse says "abounding in hope.")

Hey girl! I just wanted to say that I have been reading some of your posts and it has been such a joy and encouragement. I am so happy about the way that God has been moving in your life recently and it just shows us how inherently good he is. He cares so much about you, his beautiful daughter, and he loves you so much and only he can satisfy you and bring you overflowing joy!

Is he proud of us

Is Jesus, like our earthly father should be, proud of us? Is he proud of the progress we make? I have been feeling like i need to earn this acceptance, in my earthly father and i know i dont need to earn my heavenly fathers acceptance but how i would love to know that he is proud of me. Not that i deserve it, i know i dont but a father (usually) is proud of his kid even tho the child makes mistakes and is not perfect. Every girl i know wants to be loved and accepted by her father and i would to. thanks everyone

One attribute of God I like the most is that He never fails. Even those around me who i love the most can fail me and really disappoint me, but my God NEVER fails. He can never lie to me, He can never hurt me or stop loving me, He is everything I need and He wants the best for me. I can tell Him things that I can't share with anyone else, things that are in the innermost parts of my heart. I love my God. He also saved me from myself and my sin and although I am not perfect He helps me be the best I can. <>< This is a great post thanks, Paula!!

I'm so glad God is moving in such a huge way in yours and your brothers life! You are so right that we need to just turn away from earthly things and just totally surrender to him- He is the only person who can ever bring us true satisfaction and happiness. Sometimes, I start to think that God doesn't really care about my prayers and doesn't act on them, so I love hearing stories like yours!

(but i always trust Jesus anyway.)) oh, my God loves me... like no one else does. it's incredible.

Hey, Lele!

I didn’t forget you . . . I just needed some time to think. Your question stumped me a bit, because the Bible doesn’t talk about God being proud of anyone. But, then, the Bible doesn’t use the word “proud” in a positive sense like we do—it always refers to pride as sin.

BUT, God’s Word is overflowing with His love for His kids, and the fact that He is PLEASED with them! His love is infinitely better than the kind our Dads (or other humans) give us, because His love is unconditional and eternal. There is nothing you can do, Lele, that will make Him love you more, and there’s nothing you can do to make Him love you less!

He sees and knows everything about you—your struggles, your pain, your fears, your accomplishments, your victories. When you choose to do the right thing by His strength—while that doesn’t earn His favor—I do believe it puts a huge smile on His face!

But don’t take my word for it, Lele. Ask Him yourself! (I just did this myself this weekend.) Ask Him to speak into the pain you feel as a result of your relationship with your dad, and to let you know what He’s proud of in your life, and what He’s not.

Ultimately, you can be confident of this: You don’t have to (and cannot) earn His acceptance. HE started the good work in your life, HE’ll continue it, and HE’ll complete it. (Phil. 1:6) He also says there’s NO condemnation for you if you’re “in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:1).

You can be sure of His love for YOU, Lele!

I just wanted to say that reading all of these posts brought tears to my eyes. I can't even put into words how I feel right now. God is truly amazing. The way He is working through each and every one of you is truly amazing! I came onto this blog looking for ideas for a theme for the Bible study club at my high school, which I am leading this year, and God led me in a different direction.
Thank you so much for this. Seeing who God is in all of your lives is truly inspiring and brings me back to the reason I became a Christian in the first place!
