This week? There’s been sweetness and snot. Salty tears mixed with rich blessings…the fruit maybe of something learned, the beautiful promises of God penetrating the heart. To know them and believe them, that’s a miracle.

And the promises of God…they are meant to instruct the day, every facet of your beautiful life. So when everything is half way done and nothing is quite as together as you wanted it to be…it’s ok, because there are these heavenly promises filling up the soul and we know at the end of all things it is going to be ok, better than ok, and that reality makes here and now ok too.

The laundry,it’s not done (smile, it’s never done). The sink it’s not empty…even if it is…short-lived that will be. We live on the side of heaven where thieves still break in take stuff away. We deal with flawed people all day long and we ourselves the most flawed of all. Trying to teach our kiddos truths we’re still struggling to believe and live ourselves. We struggle. And I hear the Words of Jesus…In this world you will have trouble. There’s all sorts of trouble too…you know it, I know it. Our hearts heave a great sigh…take heart, I have overcome the world! And my soul dares hope for victory!

YES, it is going to be ok, better than ok especially for the one who believes soul deep that the promises of God are coming…they are coming true.

So, even when the day doesn’t turn out…even when you do the very thing you hate…even when life hurts and all seems lost…there are arms to come back to. There’s a God in heaven reigning over all. And He is coming. So it is going to be ok, better than ok….

Jesus is Scriptures highest, most precious, very great promise.
