This week in my own personal devotion time I’ve been studying how God
cares for us. You see, I’ve been a
little bogged down by the burdens of this world lately. Job issues, illness, friendships, the pending
death of a loved one with cancer have all been weighing heavily on my soul. So,
I’ve been trying to remind my soul that in all things, despite all
circumstances surrounding me, I am taken care of. I was led into many comforting Bible
passages, including 1 Corinthians 1:3-4, which speaks of the Lord of all
comfort, who comforts us in all troubles, and 1 Peter 5:7, which reminded me to
throw all my anxiety onto Jesus because He cares for me.
Then, my heavenly Father cupped my face in His large hands and spoke to
my innermost being.
Karen, I have loved you with an everlasting
love. I have drawn you with a loving kindness. I will build you up again and
you will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your tambourine and go out to dance
with the joyful. Jeremiah
31:3-4.
Tears. Sighing. Weight lifting. Yes. God’s love is a daily caring kind
of love - in all things and in all circumstances, but it’s also more than that,
and God knew I needed to be reminded of that.
God’s love is an eternal love.
It transcends this tear-stained life.
Weeping may endure for the day, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm
30:5 I have victory in this life because
Jesus has victory over this life. No, it doesn't take away the pain that this world often brings, but it does help put it in perspective. And today that brings me hope and a little joy. I pray it does the same for you.
