I Love You

Myself

Through the eyes of God: You are precious. You are desired. You are loved, though you continuously break My perfect law and stray from the path that I've laid before you (Romans 3:23). Even when you are faithless, I will be faithful (2 Timothy 2:11-13). I will seek you out and hurl your sins away from you, as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103). I give you My peace, and I do not give it to you in the same cheap way that the world thrusts lies and its own expectations onto you. I give to you in a heavenly way (John 14:27)...without expecting anything back, since I know that you cannot repay Me (Ephesians 2:8-9).

You are never alone (Joshua 1:5). I will never leave you; I will never abandon you for any reason. I have given you a Helper to dwell within your mortal, fragile body until you are reunited with Me (John 14:16). I asked the Father to give you this Helper. He will lead you into all truth, since you are not capable of leading yourself. But do not enter into self-deprecation, for you are precious and honored in My sight, and I love you (Isaiah 43:4).

I will be your confidence (Proverbs 3:26). How do you feel, knowing that your own self-image was shaped by My lovingkindness towards you. I am your very strength, and your song (Psalm 118:14). I will bless my people with sleep (Psalm 127:1-2). Therefore, come to me when you need rest. Take the weight that I carry; trade it for your own. For my yoke is easy, and the burden that I carry is very light (Matthew 11:28-30). Let my gentleness make you great and lift you up (Psalm 18:35). Let your gentleness be apparent. Do not disrespect my gentleness towards you by refusing to be meek (Philippians 4:5). In this way, you will be a light for the unbeliever. If I, the God of the universe, refuses to harm you, shouldn't you do the same for others (Luke 6:31)?

With Me, you will soar on wings like eagles, you will run and not grow weary, you will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31). When anxiety was great within My servant David, he cried out to me, and I relieved him of all of his fears (Psalm 94:19). But crying out to Me is not enough. Your life was designed to crave purpose through interaction with others. Serve them so that you can help Me gather My family to myself (Mark 10:45). Even when you feel you are not good enough, your heart is only deceiving you. I am greater than your heart, and I know everything (1 John 3:20).

Even when you are faithless, I am faithful. I cannot deny who I Am (2 Timothy 2:11-13). I will restore you to me, for I love and pursue you with all My heart and all My soul (Jeremiah 31:33). You are My bride, and My special possession. You will forget the shame of your youth when I gather you to Myself once more (Isaiah 54:4).

Do not be afraid (Joshua 1:9).

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
