Tears flowed as her shoulders slumped.

“Whenever I pray about it, things seem to get worse. It feels like God doesn’t even love me.”

I’ve been there more than once.

What about you?

 

Is there an unanswered prayer out there? An addiction God hasn’t taken away even though you ‘ve pleaded with Him for help?

Strength can come through struggle and our faith can grow in trials, but only if we run toward truth. Even when we don’t understand what He is doing, even when He seems silent to our cries.

The truth is that God sees, He hears, He knows. He cares.

And He is working behind the scenes in this broken world.

Keep leaning in toward him, my friend. Keep fighting for hope. The darkness may hide Him from your sight, but you are never hidden from His.

 

How about a touch of grace today –

A little kindness in our words, a little softness in our responses.

Instead of angry words, what if we breathed our grace onto each other?

We might discover that words of grace are words of life,

 

that words of grace are refreshing to our soul,

that words of grace can soften a heart and change the direction of a life.

We might discover that grace changes everything.

Y’all are THE best!

 

The branches were loaded with blueberries.

Plenty for us to eat, plenty for the birds, plenty for the bugs.

These delicious, juicy berries remind me of the lavishness of God’s love.

He isn’t stingy. He pours out His love, grace, and mercy regardless of the way He is received.

God’s kindness leads our hearts to Him. His lavish love draws us in.
