Feature Guest Post::Crystal Stine {Thoughtful on a Tuesday}

Hello Friends!

I am so thankful and blessed by this community. :0)

Today...

I am excited to introduce you to a friend of mine.

Her name is Crystal Stine and she blogs over at Shine.

She blogs about life, crafts, and God.

{Three of my favorite things!}

Her love for God is evident through her writing.

And it is through God...

that He placed a word on both our hearts for today...

the same word...

ONE WORD

And that word is...

HOPE.

----------------------------------


Hey…you. You’re on my heart this morning. I have a question for you. Are you feeling:

Alone

Invisible

Sad

Heart heavy

Discouraged

Over-looked

Overwhelmed

Stuck?

I know you, sweet one. I have been there – I have felt those things. Over the past 27 years, in 2010, in the last month, in the last hour – I have felt every one of those heartaches, sometimes all at once. Stuck in the mire of the life we live that was never promised to be perfect, we search for perfection and “better” and … more… and when it remains illusive we

sink.

But there is HOPE. Perfection at our finger-tips, reaching out for us, searching for US, SEEING us. Our God sees – He sees, in the chaos of the world around us, through the darkness and difficult days, He sees You, dear heart.

With Him you are never 

Alone

Invisible

Sad

Heart heavy

Discouraged

Over-looked

Overwhelmed

Stuck

You are nothing less than loved. You are SEEN, by the ONE who looks past your fear and disappoint and straight into your heart. And He takes up residence there, to heal and sooth.
