There is fruit in the growth}

Hey sweet sister, 
How are you doing? How is your heart? Can i pour you a cup of tea and share with you some things that have been on my heart?

I want to tell you something that i wish i could've told my 15 year old self. There is fruit in the growth God brings you through. How purposeful our King is in every. single. thing.
He doesn't waste a single drop that drips from our lives. He grows and refines us. He sanctifies us into an image that purely reflects HIM and HIM alone. When we draw near to Him, He begins to take self off of the throne of our hearts until He becomes our ruler and King.


This may be a really rough season for you right now. You may feel like you're in a season filled with constant struggling and wrestling. My question to you is this... what are you doing about it? Are you continuing to go back to the hurt that festers and grows every time you ponder it?  Are you going to that guy to fill that aching hole in your heart? What are you feeding yourself?

Have you reached a point where you are so desperate that you search for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to take away the sting? Sister, in these times you MUST remember who your King is. You must remember to whom you belong to. Yes. i understand that you might've grown up hearing this your whole life, but right HERE and right NOW our Heavenly Daddy wants to make this SO real to you. He wants to bring you to a place where you truly reckon this as truth in your own life.  He has to be the one you run to and cling to in your times of trouble and struggle.
Even if you don't "feel" like it... you have to run to Him despite what your flesh or mind tell you. You have to preach truth to your soul. Scream it on the mountain tops if you have to! You have to preach truth while your crawling through the mud in depths of the valley. Even if it looks like sobbing your eyes out until make it into His arms. His arms are not very far, sweet girl. If you can't walk, He will help you. If you can't move, He will help you. If you feel so broken, He will heal you.

 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
²     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
³     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
⁴ Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalms 23}

You have a choice sister. Right now. What are you going to do? What are you going to feed to yourself? This is a vow He has made to His children. Do you not believe it? Surely HIS goodness and love will follow you ALL the days of your life. Not just certain days, but ALL. Including the heard times. Do you believe He is good?

Seek Him sister. He what we need <3
