His words are always true.

it's hard to decipher sometimes if you're going down this road because it's what you want or because you think it's what He wants. some days you see the path so clearly, and others you can barely see to muster up the courage to take even a step. you're thrown into this mix of emotions you've never felt before and wonder if you're crazy or just like everyone else. 'crazy' or 'like everyone else' --- neither one sounds the slightest bit noteworthy. you gradually put a little more trust in your earthly gifts instead of the One who is able to love you better. and then... you're disappointed, with good reason, because you've been let down. at some time or another, they'll always let you down. He whispers to you, peaceful words of affirmation, telling you of your worth to Him. and the beautiful thing about it --- His words are always true.

you are fearfully and wonderfully made. fear not, for i have redeemed you; i have summoned you by name; you are mine. i have loved you with an everlasting love. i will never leave you or forsake you. i will hold your right hand, saying to you, fear not; i will help you. i will be faithful to complete the work i have started in you. i have plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. come to me, and i will give you rest. no one can snatch you out of my hand. come near to me, and i will come near to you. no temptation has seized you except what is common to man. i am faithful! i will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. my mercy is from everlasting to everlasting.
