He will fight for you.

Exodus 14:14
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

To me this verse embodies the love that Christ has for us. He will fight our battles if we surrender to Him. He loves us enough to allow us to cast our cares upon Him. And that's exactly what I've been struggling with--surrendering to Him. When I read this verse all I see is God standing tall in front of me as a wave comes crashing down all around. I see Him hold out His hand in front of us and create a tunnel, so that not even a drop of water can touch my skin.

God placed us on this earth so that we could enjoy Him and everything that He has to offer us. He doesn't want us to live in pain, to fall under the pressure of life, or to even shed a tear. He wants us to bask in the glory that we as sinners don't deserve for even a second. Jesus wants to give us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4).

But can you see where I stand in awe? Not only did our Savior give His life to give us an eternal place in heaven, but He still wants to give us more. As if His life wasn't enough!

The more I get into the Word, the more I understand the love of my Father. I could never ask for anything more. Thank you, Jesus.
