“I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want… a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.”
People need you. People you love and even people you have never met are depending on you. You matter to God as well. No one else can be the person you were created to be. Do not think for a minute that you are not important; - the world needs you. God needs you.
You matter.
Hebrews 13:5-6 Don’t fall in love with money. Be satisfied with what you have. The Lord has promised that he will not leave us or desert us. That should make you feel like saying, “The Lord helps me! Why should I be afraid of what people can do to me?”
“I think that it is very important if you know what you want, understand where you are heading towards, and try your best to get it. It is only when we use our hearts to do it, and fall in love with what we are doing, then can we really get real determination.”
I wouldn’t trade your complication for anyone else’s simplicity.

Mark 3:28 I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are.
John 14:1-6 Do not be worried and upset, Jesus told them. Believe in God and believe also in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house, and I am going to prepare a place for you. I would not tell you this if it were not so. And after I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to myself, so that you will be where I am. You know the way that leads to the place where I am going. Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; so how can we know the way to get there? Jesus answered him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.
That one good deed can shift the balance of the whole world. Never underestimate the power of your goodness and kindness.
That’s why my dear Tumblr Friends, thank you for helping me and helping other people. Let us do more good deeds! Cheers.
Psalm 59:16,17 I will sing about your strength; every morning I will sing aloud of your constant love. You have been a refuge for me, a shelter in my time of trouble. I will praise you, my defender. My refuge is God, the God who loves me.
‘Lord, take my feet and give them direction, take my hands and give them work, take my eyes and give them vision, take my heart and give it love.’ - Mark Brown
Psalm 39:12 Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry; come to my aid when I weep.
Philippians 2:1-4. Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort in love, any sharing in the Spirit, any sympathy, complete my joy by thinking the same way, having the same love, being united, and agreeing with each other. Don’t do anything for selfish purposes, but with humility think of others as better than yourselves. Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Everything you were taught can be put into a few words: Respect and obey God! This is what life is all about.
2 Samuel 22:2-3 Our Lord and our God, you are my mighty rock, my fortress, my protector. You are the rock where I am safe. You are my shield, my powerful weapon, and my place of shelter. You rescue me and keep me from being hurt.
