Genuine Security

Over the past few weeks, I find myself on a continuous search for peace, rest, joy, and most definitely a song to sing.  I have constantly been longing for hope and love. I know, without any doubt, that I am not the only person in search of these things. As I listen to a CD I have played more times than I can count, Kari Jobe reminds me that everyone needs these things. The sweetest part is, I don't have to go far to find them.....and my friend.....I don't just find a little of each one, I find them each in abundance!
She writes...
"He will lift you up...
He will lift you up higher than sorrow...
He will lift you up...
And cover your soul with healing!"
How often do we forget that the very creator of our soul is perfectly and fully capable of healing it. He is not the best one to heal it, but rather the only one. His perfect promises are the only means of finding hope in the future....and who doesn't want hope?! Without hope, there is no purpose for life. He is hope. 
I have never been so excited about falling in love with Jesus. In fact, I do not think I ever really knew what it meant. It is refreshing...like nothing in my life has ever been before. There is no burden in trusting someone with your heart when you know they will protect it at all cost. Oh, how often and how foolishly we put our trust in things and people that only lead us to disappointment. We think our investment of time or feelings is secure. Think about this..... 
Secure: free from or not exposed to danger or harm; safe.
I have learned that the only things in my life that are secure, (totally save from any harm or danger) are the things that I place in His hands. That knowledge is what gives me peace, rest, joy, hope, and love.
What else do I need?
