You make beautiful things…” 

I studied Genesis 1-2 for 3 hours last night in my Pentateuch class, and I had a whole new perspective of how this world was created. 

I’ve never looked at the story of Creation like I did last night. My God just spoke the world into being. No chaos, no evolution.  He created order in this universe. He separated the heavens and earth. He made the stars in the sky. The land and sea. His breath gave life. It seems so simple, but to think that He turned absolutely nothing, into this beautiful world. How could I not worship and praise my Creator? Without Him, none of this would exist.

He is my…

Protector. Safety. Comfort. Peace. Healer. 

I had looked at a certain person as my protector. This person was supposed to keep me safe. I had become too dependent. But I unfortunately was disappointed. I tried to replace God’s safety, with a person who was bound to fail me. I needed someone tangible. I needed a person to tell me they would keep me from any hurt. I put too much expectation on someone. 

I learned that the Lord is my protection. He is my safety. He is going to comfort me in my times of hurt. He will give me peace when my head is filled with uncertainty, anxiousness, and worry. He has healed my heart from hurt. In chapel today we were all asked why we love God. Well, this is why I love Him. I have become very careful with who I allow to come into my life. I have people I am close to, but they are human, and they will disappoint us. I love the Lord because I know He will never fail me. He is all I need and more, and that is why I love Him. And I continue to surrender to Him…

He breaks me in order to rebuild me…
