Life has been its busy/upside-down/filled-with-doubts-and-fears/not-so-good/lovely-and-glorious/discouraging/beautiful/awesome self. And the more I live of this wonderful life, the more I realize only one thing is consistent.
The more I mess up, get back on my feet, struggle through to the next day, soar, then fall down again, the more I realize only one thing is unchangeable.
The more I think I have it all together and then find out I am in shambles, the more I realize only one thing is unshakable.
It's His love for us. It's that one thing that keeps me going day to day. When I am in the dark and can't see my next step. When I feel like I am failing and can't go on. When doubts fill my mind and all I see is that which surrounds me. It's His love that I depend on. It is the knowledge that I belong to Him.
Today I flipped open my Bible to Psalm 73 and it was absolutely what I needed today:
21When my soul was embittered,
22 I was brutish and ignorant;
I was like a beast toward you.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God;
-Psalms 73:21-28
Lean on Him and He will bring you through it.
