Thank you Jesus

Just a quick word because unfortunately it is past my bedtime…but I am overflowing tonight with the Lord’s goodness. He is at work. All the time. Do you see his hand? Do you know to look for it? He is right there. I know Life is hard and days can be very challenging. I hear trauma and crises each day. I see the pain. I have my own struggles. Death and illness and heroin addiction and brokenness and challenges. I’m invited in to these stories. But I see the Lord. He is at work, reaching out, beckoning us- his very creation, back to himself, calling us to himself to be renewed, restored, healed, redeemed. I have lived in his grace and redemption, I know it, I study it in His word and in the lives of those around me. I am blown away by the beauty he gives amidst the pain and darkness. I wonder…have you experienced this beauty in your life? I pray you do. He is so good. Today is so good and tomorrow may be so hard but God remains good and sovereign over all.

I trust in You, Lord.
