Bridges to Light

The most beautiful feeling in the world is God’s love.   Over a year ago, I went through something that shook me to my core.  I couldn’t understand it and those around me couldn’t either.  What I didn’t realize at the time is that I was going through the fire.   The fire I’m referring to is the refining fire of God. 

What I felt while going through this fire was this overwhelming peace.  No matter how difficult things seemed at the time (and they were hard things to go through), I was feeling this love inside and around myself that I couldn’t understand.  When I went to sleep at night, I felt more peace than I had felt in my entire life.  It felt like I was in the arms of God – it still does!

When you feel God’s love, you never want to leave it or let go of it.   I am like a little child searching for my parent every morning – making sure He is still there.   His love – it’s not like the love we experience here.  His love melts every worry and every fear away.  I’m not afraid of losing or not having what I need anymore.  There is a stillness that comes from truly knowing God – it allows you to breathe again.  I can finally breathe because I gave my worries and fears to the only ONE who can fix them and I know it is already done. 

I wake up each morning and smile, knowing that His love will carry me wherever I go.   It never ends.  It keeps me safe and free.  I’m grateful for everything that has happened in the past year.  I’m living the life I choose because I put Him first.  This is what He has always wanted for me – it’s what He wants for you, too.
