Here is a little paragraph I read out of the book called 'His Princess'
My Princess its ok to cry... I see how hard you try to handle your heart, and I know you want to live a life without heartaches or pain. I'm asking you to take a step closer to your Father in Heaven by crying out to me when you hurt. Let me heal you. Remember, My chosen, King David? He cried out me in his fears, dissapointments, and sin, and I answered. You are also My chosen one, you are My daughter.... so its ok to cry. I don't expect you to pretend pain is not real. It is truth and tears that will give you the freedom that I want you to know. Now let go of that part of your heart that only I can heal. Let your heavenly Daddy hold you while you cry!
-It brought tears to my eyes when I read that! It seems the devil knows when I feel weak and He uses so many things to pull me away from God. It can be so easy just to believe him and allow him to steal my joy and peace! :( But I KNOW that My God is much much bigger and stronger and He will send the devil away if I call out to Him!!! I'm FAR from perfect and God is still working in my life, molding and shaping me to be all he wants me to be, and yes sometimes it hurts, sometimes it hurts real bad but I know with all my heart He is right beside me no matter where I am and I trust He knows whats best, neither will He allow anything to come my way that He will not walk me thru!!! Please pray that I could hold tightly to His hand wherever He takes me!!! Also pray that when I am temted to do things I shouln't that I would cry out to God for help....especially in my thought life since I have so much time to think! My prayer is that this time of trial will draw me closer to the only one who can truly heal me! ;)
crys dear, may you feel God's arms around you holding you tight! I'm praying for you that you may have strength to resist Satan. I believe you will do the right thing and I know that even when you feel weak God will give you the strength. Keep holding onto Him!!! Love you dear, Emily
