I Belong

I woke up this morning feeling a little blue. I think it was from a dream I had last night that reminded me of some heartache from several years ago, and I have been kindof in a funk all morning. I hate waking up and doubting the life God's given me and doubting His plans in my life. I knew that the best thing for me would be to grab my Bible and remind myself of some encouraging things God's Word says. As I was reading through some selected passages, one verse in particular stuck out to me and encouraged me. It has warmed my heart with hope and peace, and I thought I would share it.

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:37-39

What a wonderful reminder that I can conquer the struggles and trials in my life through the strength of Jesus. There is such hope found in the promise of knowing that I belong to Him and nothing can seperate me from His love -Not even my broken dreams, my weaknesses, and my failures. Oh how gracious of a God we have.

I love the lyrics to this song called, "I Belong" by Katherine Scott

Not angels, nor demons, no power on earth or heaven
Not distance, nor danger, no trouble now or ever

Nothing can take me from Your great love
Forever this truth remains:
I belong, I belong to You

Not hardship, nor hunger, no pain or depth of sorrow
Not weakness, nor failure, no broken dream or promise

Nothing can take me from Your great love
Forever this truth remains:
I belong, I belong to You

Satisfy me, Lord of all. Satisfy me and help me to see that all I want and all I need is in You. Satisfy me that I can praise Your name and bring You glory today. I am Yours.
