Every day we hear people passing judgment on our decisions.
Even today, someone just told me that I needed to choose to be happy
yet they have no idea what my life really looks like on the inside.
People profane the moment when they refuse to live in it and
allow the God of Peace Himself to do His Work.
Why can't we be sad in this life over things that truly are despicable?
Why can't we be mad in this life over people who have robbed our friends?
Why can't we be glad in the midst of suffering and blessing?
Why can't we be a little bit more of ourselves this day than yesterday?
I no longer pretend that everything is all right because God is in control.
Things may look like a Job experience...we must embrace our loss and not deny.
This isn't about changing our perspective. It's about God changing our lives.
Only a Magnificent God can do that---anything else is just penance on our part.
A friend said to me today that she changed her thoughts and by God's Grace
was working hard at it! I wanted to say to her that life doesn't work that way.
She may find some worldly peace but it amounts to an anthill in God's Scheme.
Now may the Lord of Peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way.
The Lord be with you all. 2 Thes 3:5
My eyes are looking to the LORD til He gives us mercy. Psalm 123:2
" If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— " (Psalm 124:1) God only knows the amount of chaos that would surround us. I can't begin to fathom life without Him. I don't know how people go through difficult days alone.
