You know those seasons when it feels like everything is going to heck in a handbasket? The things you love most in your life are quickly slipping away, and what you’re left with hardly feels like your life at all. I’m in one of those right now. Jesus is my constant.
It is in the midst of losing much, that you are promised that you will find all. Even though at times it is difficult to feel God’s presence, and hard to figure out what He is trying to teach me, I know that He has promised me everything. I have His grace, His truth, and His love. I get to be in relationship with my Creator, with my Abba. And He’s promised that He is working through of all of this, even if I cannot see it right now.
For those of you who are in a similar season of your own, or who may find yourself in one soon, here’s a word of encouragement for you:
You are loved. You are His beloved. And when your heart can’t comprehend that, God will remind you, because He is wiser than our faulty hearts.
Romans 8:38-39
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, not anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Even when you’ve lost, you are found. Found in the love of Jesus Christ.
