Some Days are Hard

There will be trouble. (Don’t we know it?)

I caught up with a friend the other day. She was feeling a bit blue. She had witnessed two horrendous car accidents. Another friend has a physical ailment and a family member just called off their wedding.

My mom went to lunch with some friends. She said her pastor was leaving. Some of her friends were sick. Others had uncertain futures.

I just now received a group text that someone’s family member is currently having a stroke. He had one a couple of days ago too.

There is a lot going on that is heavy. Have you ever walked into a room and could just feel the weight of everything from everyone?

The rest of the verse from John 16 states, “But take heart, because I (Jesus) have overcome the world.”

Jesus is the constant. Everything in our world goes up to down- good to hard- sunny to stormy. Jesus is the constant.

So thankful that some things never change. God loves us so much. He is in control and has a plan. He is always working even when we don’t see it. He comforts us and listens to us and holds us.

I don’t understand. But, I trust You.
