IF GOD WROTE YOU A LETTER
Do you sometimes wonder if I’ve forgotten you? Do you sometimes wonder if I care? Here’s something you’ve heard before, but I will say again and again: I will never forget you. Never. I know what’s going on in your life. There are times I celebrate, and there are times I mourn. But I know all.
Even if you think I’ve forgotten, I am with you. If you feel lost, I am beside you. I always provide care and comfort, even during the chaos. If you think life is messy now, it would be madness without me. I know you want a resolution immediately. I know what you want answers now. Continue to wait and trust. Rest in me. Look up. I am there. Look around. I am there. Life may be swirling around you, but it’s not outside of my control. I am with you today and forever.
NEXT STEP
Find signs of God’s activity in a challenge you or a friend is facing. Write them down and remind yourself—or your friend. Approach your friend prayerfully and humbly. He or she may not be ready to hear, but ask if you can share.
