Resting In Him


There are some days when, simply put, we just hurt. Sometimes the needs and aches and burdens of those around us are so intense, so deep, they threaten to overwhelm us and steal our joy. Were it not for Christ, I'm certain they would.

But because of Christ, we have
hope.
assurance.
certainty.

We know full well that He is our Refuge through the storms of life.
He is our Strength when we feel so incredibly weak.
He is our Shelter when the world threatens to overwhelm us.

I'm standing on these truths;
praying for so many friends;
and trusting that God is able and sufficient for each hurting heart.
Because of that, I can RELAX.
I can have joy.
My God brings order out of confusion.
Wholeness from brokenness.
Hope from despair.
Beauty from ashes.
Victory from defeat.

Thank You, Father, for Your uncomparable love and grace...
