I walked and talked and cried as God cast long shadows through the golden light spreading across the dry grass and the bare tree branches against the early evening sky.
Good or bad. Up or down. Soaring or falling. He is there.
God knows what He is doing. He always has! He knew from the beginning EXACTLY what my weaknesses would be. And He has never left me alone.
Because usually it’s in my pain that I’m reminded of His ridiculous, unending, unfailing love.
Stop ‘handing it over’ then continuing to lose sleep and micromanage what you’ve placed in God’s hands.
He was pretty clear on our goal here on earth...LOVE.
God, soften their hearts. God, fill all the holes. God, lead them and guide them and hold them every single moment of every single day of their lives.
He just goes on loving me anyway. Forgiving me anyway. Waiting for me to return to Him. Again.
And I can’t think of anything more holy than being enchanted by this place. The people. The beauty of it all…
I don’t think He’s keeping track, and I just don’t think He’s keeping score.
What exactly am I supposed to DO now? Is there something I can DO, God?? About ANY of this??
Pain always comes before healing. But now maybe as you attempt to stand on those shaky legs…you’ll feel Someone take your hand, and it will feel more familiar than you can possibly describe. Like Someone you’ve ALWAYS known.
I forget how small I am in the grand scheme of things. I forget over and over and over I am not in control.
We’ll look back years from now and say there was a time before 2020…and now there’s an after. We have never been the same.
You guys, He has time!!! All the time in the world. For me. For her. For you. He can carry it all!!
I’ll mess up. I’ll doubt. I’ll sin. Maybe within the next thirty minutes. He KNOWS. But it doesn’t matter to Jesus. He loves me. Regardless.
Over and over and over we get all caught up in life’s pain. Consumed by how far we have yet to go. And sometimes we lose sight of our blessings.
