Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14

In Scripture, the term “remain” (or “abide,” “dwell”) encompasses more than just staying in one place. It signifies being embraced. It represents a daily choice to stay connected to the One who never releases us.

This word appears over a thousand times in the Bible, not merely as repetition but as an invitation.

In this fragmented world...

Where His children forget, wander, betray, and cause pain?

How does our Heavenly Father uphold His everlasting love?

I don't understand this kind of love. 

I found myself in a state of lingering on this thought... When He prompted me to go deeper ...

.

How do we stay loyal, loving, and kind when so many have been affected by madness, cruelty, and chaos?

Destruction and devastation are affecting us like a haunting nightmare. Many are buckling under the strain.

Hearts seem to be becoming detached and cold. 

Are we teetering on the brink of something darker? Who orchestrates such despair...

Oh, God, please don’t let me go there. Don’t allow the rushing tide to pull me into this dark abyss.

Allow me to close my eyes to the chaos and just simply breathe!

Let me soak in the warmth of Your beautiful presence.

Let me stay focused on the greatest Love I have ever known. 

Let me remain in this beautiful state.. 

 of loving You.

Flood my mind, body, and soul!

With Your forgiveness —

Your grace.

Your vastness.

And Your amazing, unfailing love!!!

Take my hand, Lord, and pull me close, let me bask in the flow of Your wonderful peace. You are my sweet surrender. 

With you, the heaviness of this world begins to diminish. 

Everything becomes crystal clear.

Our world is merely a temporary home. 

You refresh my soul and leave my heart yearning for more... 

You are my peace, my love, my escape... my eternal HOME. 

It’s You.

It will always be You.

You are a treasure to behold.
