God calls us to Him
“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”— Psalm 30:5
Things happen in our lives. Terrible things that break us and drag us down. Things that we cannot control and break us. Things that make us weep in our beds at night in agony.
This world is a terrible place.
It was created good by God, but has become corrupted.
God is our friend
He is Love. He is on our side and calls us through the darkness and pain.
He is the calm after the raging storms on the sea of despair.
He is our shepherd in a world filled with savage beasts seeking to devour.
He calls us and seeks us.
Even when we get angry at Him and blame Him.
Even when the entire world and our own mind tells us it’s His fault.
When the enemy whispers that God is against us.
The Lord is there, with a still small voice asking us to turn to Him.
There are things we do not understand. But He does.
He will comfort us, and teach us and grow us and help us to understand.
He will save us and dwell with us and in us.
When we turn to Him and ask him to save us and put our faith in Him, confessing Jesus as our Lord.
He moves in our soul.
He brings us from darkness and we see Him move in our lives.
Then, He fills us and we see the truth of Him.
We see He was with us in the darkness. He was with us in the despair. He was with us when we were hiding from Him. He was there.
And all that fear we had.
All that anger toward Him, will turn to joy.
And when we fall into that deep long sleep, we will awake with Him in the morning.
And every day will be new in Him.
He is all there is, and all there ever will be.
