It's days like this....

It's days like this when you lose your marriage, your job and your children move away, that you find yourself wondering "what's happening?" What's happening is I have found myself more dependent on the one thing that's doesn't change - God's love! Through these past few months, He continues to show me that He doesn't move. When the world is spinning out of control and nothing seems to be going right, He's still there. His word never changes, His promises are true and He is faithful to complete what He has started in me. His word is powerful! Well meaning friends keep saying "God doesn't give us more than we can handle." My response is "Yes, He does. If we never had more than we could handle, then we would never need Him." I've had more than I can handle and I've had to throw my hands up in surrender to Him. What a relief when I finally did open my hands, close my mouth and look to Him. The past few months of my life have been turned upside town and left me completely dependent on Him as my husband, provider, shelter, refuge, peace and Father. I'm more than confident in saying "I'm in His grip" and He won't let me go...I can yell, cry, kick and scream; laugh, jump for joy, dance and sing and He still loves me. I make Him smile and I can trust Him to always want the best for me and His love is unconditional. There's something comforting in knowing that even when I screw up, He loves me and forgives and forgets. My big brother, Jesus, made this way for me and I'm forever grateful......
