Reminders

Took this photo Thursday afternoon as I was sitting alone in my car waiting to hear from The Lord. I had driven to the lake for some much needed Jesus time. I needed to get away. I needed to get away from my anxious thoughts; my doubts. I needed to be in the presence of my Lord; before His throne. I took this photo as a reminder for myself of what the Holy Spirit led to me to read as I prayed and sought Him in my car. I want you to be reminded of this truth, too...

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." -Romans 8:18

May The Lord direct your heart to not look at the things seen, but to the things unseen. We have a hope. We have the promises of promises... Our redeemer lives and He is returning for His bride. He is making intercession on our behalf. Jesus WON. But now we have been called to run with endurance the race that is set before us. May the sufferings we face reveal the Savior we serve. May we not ask for the suffering to stop, but for The Lord to be in the midst of suffering with us. For His glory.

"Thankfully, the good news of the Gospel is not an exhortation about how to "hang on at all cost, "or "grin and bear it" in the midst of hardship. No, the good news is that God is hanging on to you, and in the end, when all is said and done, the power of God will triumph over every pain and loss..."- Tullian Tchividjian
