Psalm 61: 1-4
"O God, Listen to my cry!
Hear my prayer!
From the ends of the earth,
I will cry to you for help,
for my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
for you are my safe refuge,
a fortress where my enemies cannot
reach me.
Let me live forever in your sanctuary,
safe beneath the shelter of your wings!"
From the ends of the earth,

safe beneath the shelter of your wings!"
Recently Ive felt like a shipwreck. Sometimes even the smallest things cause the biggest disappointments. Things that shouldn't really even matter count too much. Then I remember how much I've forgotten to be filled by God. Only he can fill me and nothing else. Sometimes all the other junk no matter how good it seems, has to be cut out for the sake of nurturing that strong relationship with him. We'll ultimately find disappointment's and discontent in the people and things we trust in this world, but its taken me 23 years to finally realize, God is it. There is nothing else that can take his place and nothing ever will fill me until the day he decides otherwise. Until then.. I can do anything he wills me to.

AMEN sir
Reading this seriously gave me joy. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to learn something, the point is that you learn it and truly believe it. Stay focused on God and nothing else. He is the only one that can give you true happiness. I've definitely had to learn the hard way that I cannot look to people or things in my life for fulfillment but it is something we all need to realize. People will ALWAYS fail you and hurt you but God is FAITHFUL and will NEVER abandon you. Be patient and God will bless you with things you never even knew were possible.
