Anchored in Christ

[This photo was taken the other day with my i-phone, and yes I do live here!] (Do not copy)

The verse above reminds me that no matter what I can always find my hope in him. As women we are told to let others define not only us but our happiness as well. We are told to find out worth in the things of this world: success, money...etc. We are also told that without these things we cannot be happy. But God is telling us something completely different in the verse above, he tells us that our hope is an anchor for the soul, and that we can find ourselves in him.

God calls us to be anchored in him, just as Hebrews 6:19 says. When we are "anchored" in God, then we do not drift off into the water, we are safe, we are secured in his love. When we are anchored in our faith we are able to put him first. Because let's face it, without him we would just be drifting off into the middle of the water not knowing where to go next.

So sisters, always be anchored in him and rest in the truth that Hebrews 6:19 provides for each and every one of us. Find your hope, your worth and yourself in him, because he is all you need.

Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...
