In this moment…
…a friend is about to give birth to her first child.
…another friend is soon to become a widow.
…a friend is moving to a new state to start to a new job.
…another friend is retiring after 42 years with the same company.
…a friend shared a joke via text message.
…another friend shared a confidential prayer request via a phone call.
…a friend is eagerly anticipating her wedding day.
…another friend is walking through a devastating divorce.
…a friend was just told that the tests came back “negative.”
…another friend was just told that the tests came back “positive.”
While each of the above is a true statement, I find hope for this moment in an even greater set of truths:
In this moment (whether your moments be joyful or difficult)…
…God is not surprised by any of these.
…God knows how He will use each moment in your journey to prepare you and/or others for moments you will face in the future.
…God’s character never changes.
…God understands.
…God cares.
…God loves you.
