Had a few thoughts as I watched a video that a friend posted on facebook. It was exactly what I needed. Today so far has not been the greatest, maybe even the last couple of weeks. Still lots of good things happening like my girl going to prom. She was so beautiful. We loved seeing her happy and enjoying this moment in her life with her friend Ashton. It has been great to have family around supporting both of my kids. To be able to hug my nephew when his kitty died.
But even with all this my heart has been heavy. So much not nice stuff happening around us. So many that need love and some days it just feels like I can't make enough of a difference. Then there are days I am just tired of trying to love and wondering does it really matter? Where is God is this world?
Then I am reminded that my God does see and he does care, He loves!!! He will give me the love I need to keep loving. He is not a God of anger just waiting to lash out on us. He poured out his anger while Jesus was on the cross. Now we have his grace. He wants us to be part of his family. Our troubles and hurts, sickness and sadness are not God judging us and pouring out his wrath. Instead we have a God of grace who sees our worth and says I am here to walk with you. Our God is a good God. He sent his son Jesus to teach us how to be his people. We are to be vessels for grace, not judgement.
He is here wanting to love us, wanting to give us a family. wanting to help us walk through whatever life throws at us. Oh how He loves us so!!!!!
Please take time to watch this video and remember that you are loved! Thank you Heather for the reminder!
Love and Prayers,
