There are good endings and bad endings, and for Christians we know we can't lean on our own understanding which, unfortunately, doesn't always make the circumstance any easier. We're weak in the flesh, often wild in our death-metal imaginations, and sometimes we can't find hope even though it's omniscient like the Lord's presence. Reality becomes unbearable and even distant - because we just don't want to handle it anymore. We take on a shroud of sorts, operating in a grey place, without both light and the threat of darkness. And then God touches us. We may even resist because things just are out of control within and without us. But He persists, and the fear unravels. We look to Him and know life belongs to Him. Not us. We have it because He gave it to us. We must still our souls and once again conclude He is God. Everything is up to Him, not us. We pray, awkward, uneasy, reaching for hope and life and truth and all He offers us. And wait. And once again we know there's a reason for it all, and it doesn't always - maybe never - make sense to us, but because of Him, it's right. Jesus loves you all, Kirk. Endlessly and with power. That's where our hope and help come from. Period. Nicolehttp://hopeofglory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
