This blog post is a little different than my past blogs, it’s pretty short, simple and to the point. But my prayer is that it would encourage all who read. The beginning steps leading to my satisfaction in Christ, was when I first fully experienced the frailty and incompetence of human love. Not that there was a particular time in my life that this happened. I think it was just a slow realization as pain and disappointment burned within. People are imperfect, we hurt each other. We don’t measure up to expectations, and set high expectations and people let us down, and we let others down. Human love is so fragile and incomplete.
But His love!! the love of God is abundantly more than all we could ask for. As of last night, I was just feeling a deep emptiness. And as I was praying these words came to mind.... “Breathe, just breathe. Breathe, through the tears, through the frustration and exhale it all. Give it to God, let him wrap you in his love. Let the love that never fails, the love that heals all wounds; the love that laid upon a cross with nails embedded into the palms of his hands and a crown of thorns bestowed upon his head. Let that love bind thy wandering heart to thee. Come child, your day may have been filled with utter restlessness and many pains but he is our refuge and strength, just breathe for the battle is the Lords. He is faithful, He is true, He is love. And He will fight for you. Breathe, just breathe – Mikayla K I am loved, I am seen, I am held. This love that heals, and seeks out to bring home the one lost sheep. This love that laid upon a cross, with nails embedded into his hands and a crown of thorns bestowed upon his head. That love is for me? even though I did nothing to deserve it? The only thing I have done is sin, sin and sin again. But he loves me, and loves me again and loves me again in the very midst of my sinning. There is no love that can come close to comparison. And why would he do that?! Because he is love! he is all together perfect. He is full of immeasurable mercy and grace to his sinful children that he rains upon us each morning. And the price has been paid. Jesus laid upon a cross and bled for me. Not because I deserved it, or preformed some wonderful act to receive this reward. But because God is love and God is merciful. So, breathe today, you’re loved; loved with abundant love. He is faithful, He is true, He is love and He will fight for you. So, whatever situation, or pain that comes to mind as you read these words. Breathe, just breathe. Lift, it up to the heavens, and let him fight for you. Psalm 91 verses 14-16 says this ““Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life, I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” I want to ask you to go listen to this beautiful song by Shane&Shane. I cry every time I hear it. This song is so humbling and beautiful.

Many of my friends and family are in that path. Pray for protection and peace. God bless you all, may his love meet you right where you are in this very moment. I pray this is an encouragement to all who read it. -Mikayla Kent
