True love is long suffering ❤️
Seems right.
Hey guys! I don’t use this account all that much anymore, but I do post on tiktok: @biblesandbutterflies or you can follow my insta! :) https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdrRnCsa/
God sometimes gives us short term hurt to protect us from long term heart break
“You never fail, you never will, I trust your name for greater things. You will come through, you always do, I trust your name for greater things”
These words have become especially dear to me over the past few days.
When you lose something or someone that your heart wants so badly, it’s easy to become angry and heartbroken amongst the hurt.
But when I stop and think about it, I cannot think of one time God has failed me. He has come through time and time again, and it would be foolish of me not to trust His plan.
I cannot even begin to fathom the greatness God has in store for me, and far too often I want to settle for lessor blessings and temporary comfort.
I see what is right in front of me, but God sees the whole picture and He is protecting me from things I cannot see.
Ultimately it all comes down to whether I believe God loves me and if I trust Him to know what is in my best interests. I do & I do. Amen. ❤️
It may look like I’m surrounded, but I’m surrounded by you❤️
To be love, is to be loved by you. So I won’t worry about tomorrow, ‘cause all I wanna do is know you.

Haha this made me laugh!!
And I believe what you say to me
When God Won’t Give me my Boaz
Have you ever prayed for God to work things out between you and a boy? I have, in fact just this week I asked God if He would tell a boy I liked that he should date me. Imagine my frustration after I prayed for three whole days, finally got the courage to send the boy a text, and then got left on read. Angrily, I told God: “God this boy would be perfect for me! He loves you, is involved in ministry, and is also taller than me! Why would you not work things out between us?!”. But here’s the thing: God loves us more than we could ever love ourselves, and He wants the very best for us. We see our imperfections and mistakes, and sometimes we have the mentality that anyone who goes to church, and has a relationship with God is the very best we can do. God sees us as His most treasured creation, and loves us more than we could ever fathom; When God withholds something from us, He is not doing it to be cruel, or because He thinks we aren’t enough, He is protecting us from anything less than the very best. A “no” from God is a reminder that He has greater things in store for us, and that our best is not His best.
Wow this is so convicting.
Something I really struggle with is comparing myself to other Christians. Lately there seems to be a trend of what I’ll call “aesthetic Christianity”. A picture perfect Christian life portrayed on Instagram, and I am NOT saying there’s anything wrong with having a nice Instagram. In fact, it’s awesome that people are sharing their faith so boldly! What I’m trying to say is just because you don’t have a closet full of “Faith” T-shirts, or thousands of Instagram followers doesn’t mean you’re failing as a Christian. You don’t have to look like that beautiful Christian blogger, or be as successful as Sadie Robertson (no shade, the girl is awesome!!), to be who God called you to be. The Bible tells us to imitate Christ, not other people in the world. So don’t spend time worrying about looking like other Christians, instead make sure you’re doing your best to reflect Christ.
