Jesus: A Love So Powerful

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Jesus: A Love So Powerful

Sometimes it’s so hard to grasp how much the Lord loves.

This thought echoed within my head for the past week between my breaks of studying, sleeping, and eating; the basic college student cycle.

We are natural sinners who constantly make the same mistakes over and over again, repentance a common thing, and somehow He always forgives; it’s like a clean slate.

Isn’t that amazing? It’s a love so powerful that our minds have trouble comprehending it.

I am still working on mentally grasping this truth that no matter how many times we turn our backs on the Lord, no matter how many times we reject His word, no matter how many times we disobey God, He never leaves us. His love is all-powerful.

Even on the darkest of days when we, as the Lord's followers, feel empty and alone, we have the certainty within us that although we might feel lonesome, we never really are.

He lives within His believers and He never leaves us; even when we leave and turn away from Him.

A love so sweet, it's hard not to rejoice for the mercy of the Lord.

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Deuteronomy 31:8

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
