It's so true that the fight never gets harder than He knows we can bear, and He's always there to pick us up. I really like the thoughts you shared, Ariel. :)<br /><br />Oh, those times are so precious! I know what you mean - when you can just feel God's love through His creation.

The message of that song sounds like it fits in perfectly, because really, although we try to fight the good fight, our job is to surrender to Him and let Him fight for us.. I'll have to check it out - thanks for the recommendation! :) <br /><br />Psalms are so good, aren't they?! Thanks for your comment, Autumn; you're are a blessing. And keep fighting, friend!

(nah, exclamation mark seems to fit better, what say you?? *wink*) We're going to fall, it's a guarantee. We're human. BUT there is alwaysalwaysalways a nail-pierced hand reaching down to pull us back up. The fight might be hard, but where it gets hardest, our Hero is always ready and wanting to carry us through. Isn't it wonderful, though, those times where God feels oh-so-close? Last week, I was outside, and it was about eight o' clock in the evening. I felt like I should just sit and be quiet for a minute. It was so calm outside, and I felt like if I got quiet too, I could hear God's voice. I stopped by our backyard gate and just stood there for a second--and it was like I could hear His love whispered on the breeze. <333<br /> Keep fighting the good fight, friend! We can do all things through HIM who strengthens us!!<br />-ArielPerran Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08097115041463167608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-18269736054467021452017-04-19T10:44:29.665+10:002017-04-19T10:44:29.665+10:00This is so, so good, Jessica <3 I just can'...This is so, so good, Jessica <3 I just can't even begin. The way you started this post! It gripped me from the first sentence. LIFE IS A FIGHT. I've always known that, but not till reading this post did I really think about that we're always fighting. You're right...it does get tiring. I DEFINITELY KNOW. That just made me think of a line from a song I've been listening to lately by Tenth Avenue North called Fighting for You. Basically it's like...how Jesus is fighting for us. And for me that gives me so much hope. Jesus is fighting for me...fighting the good fight...pressing on. That's life. WOW. ALL THE THOUGHTS ARE RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD RIGHT NOW xD <br /><br />And yes to the Psalms! They are so wonderful and I literally read them every day just because they are so inspiring :) I love the picture you used in this post too! autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10338919380899247929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-34079541988532747302017-04-19T10:01:58.939+10:002017-04-19T10:01:58.939+10:00This is so good!
