My Portion

"Whom have I in Heaven but You?
and besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Psalms 73:25-26
NASB

The Lord has placed me upon the path He has for my life. So I follow His direction, though I know not where it passes through, He promises that He will get me through. This journey has felt long, though in reality has only been a short while. I have carried along with me the scars, and their painful, daunting memories. Their weight has held me down, but last night the Lord asked me to see these burdens in a different light. He asked me to see the scars as a reminder of His faithfulness, to let go of pain I associate them with. For every bit of sorrow I've carried, He carried long before I was formed.

The Lord spoke to my heart, about dreams I felt were dead, about not doubting that He knew what He was getting when He chose me as His own. He even spoke of the my broken path leading right to my dearest Beloved, straight into His arms...Never has He been clearer, never has He used someone to speak directly to me in this way. My Beloved met with me, and held my heart. I felt waves of peace flowing through the course of my spirit, through the viens of my soul as He lifted the heaviness. I am in awe, at the grace, and lovingkindness of my Savior.

Yes, my Beloved, truly You are my portion forever<3
