Honey for the Heart: Hold My Heart

Welcome to 
...where I share different verses from the Psalms!
 May you find truths about God, yourselves, and living life in the images and word pictures shared here! 
Psalm 13
 Lord, how long must I wait? Will you forget me forever? How long will you turn your face away from me?  How long must I struggle with my thoughts? How long must my heart be sad day after day? How long will my enemies keep winning the battle over me? LORD my God, look at me and answer me. Give me new life, or I will die. Then my enemies will say, "We have beaten him." They will be filled with joy when I die. 

But I trust in your faithful love. My heart is filled with joy because you will save me. I will sing to the Lord. He has been so good to me.
Many times I felt the heartache of the Psalmist....and have said "How long must I wait, Lord?"
I love this song by Tenth Avenue North...when we come to a place in our lives, we lay it all down and say, I trust in your faithful love, Lord!!
"Hold My Heart"

      So true, Laurie! I'm so thankful for HIS timing. It is so often easy to forget that and want to rush into answered prayer. I have to remind myself of verse 5 of Psalm 13.

    While we wait - we hesitate to use patience because it would be so much simpler to know NOW exactly what to do. I suppose the best thing is to rest and to understand that He is faithful and will perform that which He has promised. Thank you for sharing with us here at "Tell Me a Story." I Love your photos with the scriptures.

    I'm your neighbor at Unite this week. I love the Psalms and the honest heart cries, so like our own, they contain.

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
