A place to share my attempt to seek the truth of God's word and to share the depths of His great love for us.
Ephesians 3:17b-19
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
Ephesians 3:17b-19

Accepting Love
Yesterday some circumstances I can't mention out of respect to the person experiencing them, brought me to the realization that I have been prideful in not accepting help and comfort from others in this time of need. We have so many wonderful friends and family bringing us food and offering help. I have been resistant to some of the help, sadly.
Proverbs 17:17" A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity." So I am going to try harder to allow myself to accept help or companionship or whatever we feel we need. More than ever yesterday I had to remind myself that God is in control. How silly that I ever think otherwise.Isaiah 43:10“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor will there be one after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
13 Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?”
