Sometimes the things you don’t see coming in life can blindside you the most: such as a family member being diagnosed with one of those scary words, that somewhere in the back of your mind you thought was reserved for TV medical dramas. I’ve learned that God is so much bigger than any fear that may try to creep into our heart. We’re human: flesh, and blood, God remembers our frame that we are dust...but He is eternal, our God who gives strength to the weak, and power to the powerless.
I remember at what felt like my most hopeless moment, in a pit of disbelief at what was happening around me, and feeling so utterly alone, suddenly I could feel God’s Presence, palpably...it felt like I was surrounded totally, in His arms. The angst, and worry flew away, and I was completely at peace, and felt I could get through the rest of the day.
Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and is available to give us this comfort if we will come to Him. We don’t have to have it all together. Perhaps in your moment of sorrow you can’t even string together two words to make a prayer. Only one word is really needful: Jesus.
He cares about what you’re going through; you can cast your cares on Him, because He cares for you. I’m glad that everyone around me were incapable comforters, so that I could experience for myself, that their is no pit too deep, no darkness His light cannot invade, nowhere too far from His love.
Even though every thing is not yet perfect, and in this world their is a guarantee that we will have trouble, we can rest in the fact that He has overcome the world. Their is a day coming of no more tears; in the meantime our Savior is holding us in His arms, and collecting every single one of our tears.
Isaiah 43:2 NIV, ‘When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.’
Psalm 56:8 NLT, ‘You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.’
Revelations 21:4 ESV, ‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.’
