¨Do not fear.¨
But there is some fear - life is scary right now.
¨Rejoice always.¨
But sometimes I can´t see past the colour grey.
¨Trust in the Lord.¨
But I don´t understand anything He´s doing right now!
¨Be strong.¨
But today I feel anything but strong.
¨Just believe.¨
But what if He can heal but chooses not to?
¨He loves you.¨
But I´ve never seen this kind of love before...
I am reminded of these things I know are true and I agree in my head that they are. But in my soul there rage many ¨Buts¨. They whisper and confuse and frighten me. My soul turns them over, fights when able, cries when necessary, gets angry when I recognize lies and gives up when exhausted.
I need others to hold me. To lift me on wings of prayer. To gently remind me of the Shepherd´s true character. To walk this road with me.

¨But God demonstrates His own love for us...¨ Rom 5:8
¨But God in his grace gave...¨ Gal 3:18
¨But God had mercy on him...¨ Phil 2:27
¨But God´s word is not chained...¨ 2 Tim 2:9
¨But God disciplines us for our good...¨ Heb 12:10
My life is uncomfortably real and not very easy today.
¨But God...¨
That´s all I really need to know.

DeleteOnce again you have meshed your weak fingers into His strong fingers and found strength enough for today.... "But I... But God!' Thank you again, dear sister. You are being prayed for, each one of you, in many places and in many ways. And its very ok to come to grips with your genuine weakness, genuine tears... His grip is strong enough for both of you, even when you grip falters...
ReplyDeleteThe same to you and your dear family, Dana...
