HE gets me :)


So heart break is ranked pretty close to death on the stress meter just cause its like that person is dead to you. All of a sudden one has to begin to relinquish any feelings they had for a certain person and they are no longer a part of your life. And so breaking up with my ex has been one of the toughest things I have ever experienced. Thoughts of doubt often creep into my mind, causing me to second guess my decision, because I know full well that my decision was not based on a lack of love for him, but because I want GOD to smile when HE looks down at my life. And I mean all facets of my life.. my friends, family,  work, future relationship and possible marriage.
And while breaking up with him was for the best, I believe, the past month has been awfully hard. I have been constantly teary and second guessing myself and my decision to end my relationship. Every where I turn I see his face, hear his voice and even smell his scent.
I got to thinking about whether or not there are any people in the Bible who went through something similar. To be honest, it didn’t take me too long to find one with whom I could identify. I realized that JESUS gets the pain I am going through.  He made the ultimate sacrifice just to see the FATHER smile. Everywhere He turned, His Father’s handy work He saw, His voice He heard speaking His will into His heart, His presence He felt constantly surrounding Him.  Even though HIS separation from HIS Father was the most painful thing to do, HE did it just to see me saved. JESUS made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s awesome knowing that when I tell HIM all my troubles, I know that HE gets me. He can can relate with my pain.
 Heb 4:15 says ''For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.'' JESUS feels pain when I feel pain and even the temptations that I go through, HE went through them too came out victorious.. 
In HIM I find all my strength...

spend my always

You know I've had some lonely days
I've made mistakes and had to pay
I've had some friends that walked away
Just like mama told me
But there's someone who's love is real
Who cares about the way I feel (I know you feel)
Every pain that erased every stain 
There's peace when I call out your name 

Jesus your my everything 
The cross you did that just for me
So whatever you take me through
I promise you
I'll spend my always with you

No one can touch my heart like you
Or make me smile the way you do 
I finally found someone who
Who really truly loves me
But when my strength has come and gone 
Your life in me it makes me strong
Your hand is where my heart belongs
You took all my pain
And erased every stain

Jesus your my everything 
The cross you did that just for me
So whatever you take me through
I promise you
I'll spend my always with you

Jesus my whole life has changed 
Since that day I cried your name
For everytime you brought me through
I promise you 
I'll spend my always with you.

I love u Jesus
Spend my always with you
