While watching a funny movie, our smiles were interrupted by a
commercial for St. Jude Children’s Hospital and the heartbreaking images of
children with cancer and disabilities. Sitting and chatting with good friends,
reminiscing with laughter led to somber expressions and teary eyes when the
conversation took a turn at the death of the young daughter of a friend.
The moments and
memories of life can switch from joy-filled to traumatic in the blink of an eye.
And without Jesus, how do we get through? His love, His compassion, His
understanding, His strength, and His willingness to share our burdens makes the
toughest moments bearable.
So do not
fear for I am with you, do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen
you and help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Let your life be
filled with images of our Lord. Praise him from the mountaintop and praise Him
from the deepest valley. Fill up in His presence when life gets too tough. During
the moments you don’t understand, He will be with you and He smiles in the
moments of pure joy. Take in every moment. This life can change in an instant.
But He is ready and able to see you through.
Lord,
Life without you is unmanageable and at times, terrifying. The
answers will not all be given until one day in eternity we see all the pieces
of the puzzle. For now, we take each step trusting You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
