Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for Yahweh hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Yahweh.
Sometimes the most honest prayer isn’t “God, I trust You.”
Sometimes it’s “God, I don’t understand You, and this hurts …but I’m staying with You anyway.”
All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against Yahweh, the habitation of justice, even Yahweh, the hope of their fathers.
The safest people don't pressure you to open up. They patiently prove your heart is safe, one quiet moment at a time, making you forget you ever needed to keep your guard up.
That’s exactly how Christ loves us. Never forcing the heart open …He faithfully wins it. ✨
