Delighted to meet you today. I hope you don't mind if I splash around a bit to get to know you. This looks like a refreshing place to dip into some serious goodness.

P.S.-I have started praying to God before I read the Bible to protect me while I read so I can hear His word clearly, the way I am meant to hear it, and block out the lies the enemy twists around me. It seems to help :)

Sweet Samantha, I have just recently started following your blog, you bring me to tears my dear! I recently posted on another blog that lately when I read the Bible, I cringe and sob because instead of guidance and insight, all I hear is a running list of how miserably I have failed, and continue to fail God on a daily basis. Thank you for your posts, they are a ray of sunshine in my fog. :)

Love and prayers,
Emilea

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I LOVED reading this today! Been feeling a little far from God lately, my quiet time has faltered a bit, I just haven't gotten my bum out of bed to seek Him in the morning. It's so good to hear that He is still there waiting for me!

Thanks again for the awesome post! Love you!

Love,
Heather

Dreams dereailed don't have to debunk belief - this is where I am and have been for a long time. This blog is so helpful - came across it via the Proverbs 31 site just at a point when I'm ready to hang up my hat and give up on prayer, faith or believing God wants me or that I have what it takes to love him or know him.Thanks for this site!x

Moving piece Samantha!

I agree that Love SHOULD "be blind to address, accounts or affluence."

Never in any case should a person be devalued for what they do, what town they live in, what house they live in, etc.

I loved that you shared your experience and can't wait to hear more about it. :)

I love you, Sam. And God's love through you is always willing to peak under all of our roofs, whatever condition or location, to care for our hearts.

Praying for Maria this morning. I pray His love changes her life completely. I pray she is reunited with her children and family.

Hugs from under my umbrella,

God just reminded me of His love through your writing. Thank you. I know that it was Friday's P31 devotion, but for some reason, I decided not to delete it even though it's now Monday. Thank you again.

2011-08-15T16:21:41.805-04:00

I just wanted to say that my heart is truly touched by everyone's stories... one way God has shown me today that He loves me is by bringing me here. I feel like I am surrounded by ladies who have wonderful stories of faith and love, so many testimonies of God's love overcoming hurt, pain, and shame. I am struggling most at this point is shame, for so many things I have done in my past. I am healing slowly, and I thank God for the rebuilding He has done in my life over the past several years. "I'm not what I have done, but what I've overcome." Love you guys!

I cried when I read your Devotion (3 days later). The part that Hit hard at home was "She’s so lovable, I call her Mine and nothing she does—nothing that happens to her—can take My love from her."

About 9 months ago, my life had hit rock bottom. I was on the verge of loosing my marriage due to an affair I committed. I had betraid the man I loved. But God, showed me he loved me. In December, he saved my life from my sins and gave me grace. He accepted me and called me his own. Nothing I did, or that happened to me changed his love for me.

In the end, My husband stayed with me. We are in counseling and are moving in the right direction. I make mistakes, but God has loved me through it all and taught me through it all.

Thanks for the devotion!

2011-08-15T09:31:59.091-04:00

Honestly - this is the hardest lesson I'm still trying to learn. I've been left by two husbands and with my last I have a small daughter to raise on my own. It is hard to feel like God loves me when he is letting all this happen.

Yet I know there are ways he is moving and things he is bumping me into so that I'll find my way out.

But I have to remind myself many times a day.

It's exhausting.

But worth it. I really want to come out of this horrible situation with at least knowing that I am not broken. I am not unlovable. I am worthy.

I want to come out of it so that I can help my daughter to overcome those feelings when they inevitably come.

Praying over each and every one of your hearts. Thank you so much for sharing. May the grace and peace of our Father cover your hurts and pains. And redeem and restore the things that have been stolen. He CAN and DOES give back double!!

My favorite scripture right in this season is Zechariah 9:12,
Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.

That is my prayer for y'all!

xoxo, Sam

P.S. I'll announce the winner on Tuesday!!

God shows His love everyday by waking me up each & everyday. However, when He gave me my daughter on the 14th of this month was the most exciting day of my life :). I used drugs from the time I was 18 up until 5 yrs ago & during my process I been through plenty of trials & tribulations, but God got me through. I am happy that God has given me back everything that the devil stole from me.........He has given me back my self-worth, self-respect, loving myself, caring for myself, & today I am a full time student @ a community college & I'm majoring in nursing :). He is my Jehovah Jirah "My Provider", Jehovah Shalom "My Prince of Peace", so I have so much to say about His grace & mercy. He show me love every second, minute, hour, & day :o)

I came across your blog on this lonely Saturday morning. I had forgotten that His Word tells me that I am beautifully and wonderfully made and that I am loved no matter the circumstances of my life that tell me otherwise. Thanks for your ministry.
