The Depth of God’s Love - Whispers in the Wind blog

 Have you ever had that person that you would be willing to die for? I think there are a lot of people in our life that we would sacrifice anything for, because we love them, and they love us.

But personally I don't think me or a lot of people would be willing to lose everything, to sacrifice ourselves for someone that hated us. Someone who wanted to kill us, someone who would risk their life to destroy our life.

There are many people in the world who are good people. Who are kind, generous, selfless. But I think that the willingness to die for someone who has willingly gone against you, someone who wants you dead. I think that willingness, selflessness, that love, can only come from someone who is love.

When Jesus died on the cross, when He died for our sins, He sacrificed Himself for everybody, not just the people who loved Him, but also the people who hated Him, the people who wanted Him dead.

I think that this really shows the depth of God's love for us. God loved us so much that even when we turned away from Him, when we hated Him, He was still willing to die to save us.

I think sometimes we feel really far away from God and we start thinking, "Where Is God?" Or "If God really loved me he wouldn't let these horrible things in my life happen." I think when we are angry about something, when we are upset about something we want to find someone to blame, we want to find someone to be angry at, someone to take all are pain out on. And I think a lot of times that person is God. If we lose someone we love we blame God because He didn't heal that person and He could've healed them. When our life is falling apart we blame God because He could've spared these horrible things from happening to us.

I know that when I was struggling with my addiction I really wanted to blame what happened on someone else and God was one of my choices. And I think in a lot of situations where terrible things happen I don't think finding someone to blame is exactly the best move, I think it actually tends to break us more than if we just accept what happened and try our best to heal. When people die their cause of death is not God, and really if they gave their life to God, they are not really gone.

And I think that is something that people really need to learn to understand is that in some situations there really is no one to blame, and even if there is someone to blame, pointing fingers doesn't fix anything, getting angry and blaming people doesn't fix anything. And I think that is something that I really struggle with and something I really need to learn.

But anyways I got a bit off topic there but back to the topic of God's love.God loves us. He loves us so much that He sacrificed Himself so that we could live. We cursed Him and we turned from Him and He still died so that we could live. You are seen, you are heard, and you are loved. God sees you. He loves you. He knows you. There are billions of people in the world and God loves us so much that He gets to know every single one of us.

Stop Comparing Yourself To Others! - Whispers in the Wind Blog

 Welcome to the Whispers in the Wing Blog. As I was sitting in Church this morning this was a subject that I felt really just was put on my heart to write about. I think a lot of us struggle with social comparison. I know that in my own life I have struggled a lot with comparing myself with others, and sometimes just wishing that I could be prettier or skinnier or funnier or more likable. But the truth is when it comes to comparing yourselves to others, that is a competition that no one can win. If you judge and compare yourself to others in the worlds standards there is always going to be someone prettier, skinnier, funnier, more popular than you. And there is a reason for that, God made us all unique, there is no one specific way to be beautiful or funny. We are all of God's masterpieces, think about that for a second, when you are insulting or judging yourself, than you are judging the amazing creator who created the whole worlds work, you are judging God's masterpiece.  I ...

You Are Children of God - Whispers in the Wind Blog

 "I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God." - No longer slaves (Bethel Music) In our darkest moments when we feel so alone, and we feel so lost; we tend to feel like slaves to our pain, to our anxiety. They are our slave masters, they tell us how to act and they tell us how to feel. But we don't have to be slaves to our fear anymore because we are children of an almighty God.  "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?" - Psalms 56:54 "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart. I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 "For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God who lightens my darkness." - Psalms 18:28

God Turns Our Darkness Into Light - Whispers in the Wind Blog

 Welcome back to the Whispers in the Wind blog. Today I am going to share a personal story of how I have seen God work in my own life. About two years ago I started having seizures due to being over-dosed with the MMR vaccine as a baby. At first I wasn't to worried or concerned because I had seen my brother go through this. But after a couple of months my life started to change a lot, I prayed to God night after night. One day when I was at someones house I heard the song Trust In You by Lauren Daigle playing and the song really encouraged me, it says, "Mighty warrior, king of the fight. No matter what I face you're by my side. When you don't move the mountains I'm needing you to move, when you don't part the waters I wish I could walk through, when you don't give the answers as I cry out to you, I will trust in you." Then another day I stumbled upon some Bible verses that really stood out to me. James 1:2-3 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brother...
