jesus loves you

so i'm recovering from my 12 hour clinical. when this semester started, i was so annoyed and anger that i was going to be at this hospital. my friend brown informed me that God has me at this hospital for a reason. haha what do you say to that??? well i just finished week 3 and i have to agree with her. God's hand is ever present in this clinical, from the way my nurse treats me to the patients. i feel that the Lord is trying to open my eyes to the suffering of His people. i feel myself always thinking my problems, my suffering is so much greater then those around me. i want so bad for the Lord to answer my prayers, my heart's desire, of coarse this is all in vain because i'm basically telling God that i know more than Him. i know that the Lord will's things to happen and His timing is perfect, it's just so hard to remember that in the moment. most of the patient's i've dealt with come from a long line of brokenness. they are deeply wounded by broken relationships, addictions, etc. it just breaks my heart!! i feel so convicted to share the gospel with them. like the other day one of my patient's was crying that no one loved her, she was going on and on. i wanted so bad to scream, "Jesus does!!!" i know that i'm just a student nurse and i'm not in the place to share the gospel, but i pray that the Lord would continue to give me strength and courage to care for these people.

"whatever the Lord pleases, He does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps." ps 135:6

"let not your hearts be trouble. believe in God; believe also in me....I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU AS ORPHANS; I WILL COME TO YOU. yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. because I live, you also will live." john 14:1; 18-19

"for the LOVE of CHRIST controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." 2 cor 5:14-15

"for we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempts as we are, yet without sin." heb 4:15
