The Perfect Utopia

Image
My utopia is... ...the heaven that is promised to me by God. Everything it is represents a pure depiction of my utopia.  As I walk on the streets of gold beside my one true friend and Lord, Jesus, I see and feel pure joy. I hear the sounds of the saints’ beautiful voices and the noises of the animals lifting up praise to God, exalting his name. My focus has changed. I now can purely focus on the simple things, like hearing my foot steps and God’s powerful yet gentle voice speak to me.  My utopia is love. There is no separation of classes by skin color or financial status; we are one in the eyes of God. We are his children. There is no evil. We live in the perfection and holiness of God.  I feel God’s love. I feel Jesus holding me; his physical pierced hands grab mine, and I feel him reach out to me. I see God’s throne. I now can understand his dominion and perfect character. The blinders escape from my eyes and I see his glory. I see the sun shine down on...

You're the marrying type.

I spent years waiting and watching... I thought it was my fault. Everyday, during middle and high school, I looked in the mirror and thought, "What can I do differently today that I haven't done yet?

We will totally change who we are just to get them to turn their heads. I thought it was my fault that the boys didn't like me in "that way"...What did I not have that the other girls ha...

Doubt seeps into the cracks of my spirit, but Jesus fills in the gaps of my heart with His love. Doubt, the feeling of uncertainty, takes captive of my mind, but Jesus' truth destroys every thought.  Doubt shakes me, but Jesus holds me still with his nail-pierced hands. I have been given a sure peace that consumes me, but doubt still creeps into my mind.  Why do I question my Father? Why do I question His goodness? Why do I question if He has plucked me from His hand after He already showed me His mercy? When you feel swamped in doubt, go back to God's promise to Noah in Genesis 9:13-15. "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures of every kind." God remembers us. Hold fast to the promises God has given us and continues to give us. He never...
