a reminder

No matter what terrors haunt your dreams, no matter what sickness plagues your day, no matter how many responsibilities you must meet, no matter how exhausted you may feel, no matter how much pain and fear and confusion and grief and frustration and regret and emptiness you may struggle with today... God is with you. God sees you, not as a spectator, but as a director. He loves you dearly, and He is orchestrating everything according to the biggest picture. Have faith in His Goodness, hope in His Mercy, and meet every moment with radical love, trusting beyond all visible evidence that God loves you even now... because He does.

Remember: God has NEVER let you down, ever, and you can testify explicitly to that. He doesn't change. He'll bring you through this day, too, with all its trials, and there will be blessed revelation in the end, with a graciously blessed rest to restore your weary soul. 

Be patient. This too shall pass, but this too is precious. Carry that cross with joy. You know where it leads.
