small gestures and reminders

Have you ever received something at just the right time? Something that was exactly what you needed for the moment you were in?

I did. This very day.

It was an encouraging note from a Facebook friend in the States that read “I still think of your Lance and your family. May God continue to give you peace and love <3<3<3”

Such a beautiful gift in my morning…..

…..the “little” things.

In a time when fear runs rampant in our society. When life is uncertain, and it’s easy to begin doubting that God’s still here; He speaks.

Through that small gesture on my friend’s part, He spoke.

He speaks. He’s here. His love and peace continue to blanket us when our eyes are fixed on Him. On His kingdom. His glory. Not the circumstances around us.

He is faithful.

God, is faithful.

I must never forget that.

For if I do….all hope is gone.

And.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” Proverbs 13:12

“Lord, through my loss of Lance, You were there. You were my comfort, my strength, the One who held me together. And through all of “this”, You remain unchanged. The world has changed drastically in a very short time. But You are still God. And You are still faithful. Help me to remember. Help me to believe. Help me to trust. In Jesus name. Amen.”
