Psalm 100:5

(NIV) "For the Lord is good and His love endures forever. His faithfulness continues throughout all generations."

The Lord is good.

Hi love endures forever.

His faithfulness continues.


Certain situations can cause us to forget this. Is it really so hard to remember God is always here? Is life so complicated that we can't believe He loves us? It seems like that sometimes. Psalms 100:5 is my all time favorite verse. This verse has gotten me through so much. I first found it when I was looking up the word 'faith' on BibleGateway.com because we were moving. I needed something to remember whenever I felt like things were out of control, and God showed me this verse. It's so simple, but sometimes it's just so hard to understand.

People, the human population, is so messed up. We're failures in our own minds. We think that when nothing else could get worse, there will be something. We put ourselves down for attention. We spend all our time thinking about that amazing person, yet never say a word about it. We are simply complicated. So how could a God so perfect love us so unconditionally? I can't sit here and tell you I understand it, because I don't. 1 John 3:1 says "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him." It's incredible and amazing that God could love us so much!

Psalm 139:17-18 "How precious to me are your thoughts O God, how vast is the sum of them. Were I to count them the would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake I am still with you." Do you realize how often He thinks of you? It really blows my mind.

I'm so off track...what I meant to write at first was simply that I am realizing more and more that even though things are tough, God's still here and He has a plan. I can get so angry sometimes when I hear stuff like that because I think, "I know that! I know there's a plan. It doesn't mean I have to like it!" But, I believe that as great as things were, and as bad as things SEEM to be, things are going to be better than I could have ever imagined. It's just the waiting, the getting through that I have a problem with.


So that's what's been on my mind.
