Love Wins

In these days some may say, with all the tragic things going on in the world, "God, where are you?" I see how God is right here with us. Yes, it is hard to be full of faith with bad things happening all around us but I believe that our God is greater and loves us more. Like a parent that allows their child to fall sometimes, so that they can make their own chooses and then there is the parent to help them back up, so is our God.

Yesterday was a wonderful day of remembering God's promises for our lives. I tend to worry and when I worry I try to fix things on my own and then I fall. Yesterday I heard God say "here I am and I will take care of it all!" I could not help but just sit and cry on JM's shoulder as we worshiped together. And in that moment someone slipped an envelope under our hands. We did not see who it was but it was a tangible moment for me , it reminded me that God always provides for us and hears us.

"In my distress I called to the LORD;

I called out to my God.

From his temple he heard my voice;

my cry came to his ears."

2 Samuel 22:7

Surely as the sun will rise he hears us. Do not stop believing, for even when we are without faith He remains faithful. I feel a sense of urgency to draw closer to God during these times as there is much to pray for and much to seek God on. But before I seek for others I want to draw near to my God for me, in the hopes that as I seek our Lord it was bring a wave of love to those around me. A wave of love, unlike the wave of fear that we have recently seen on the news. A wave of love that will surpass all understanding and give hope where fear was and bring restoration where brokenness was. I believe love wins!
