Life is heard, especially when we have expectations that aren't being met. My expectations have gotten me all tangled up lately. I've been thinking things like "If this was God wouldn't things be more fun?" "If this was God wouldn't I be able to handle all this change better?" "If this was God wouldn't I have less anxiety?" Playing the "If God..." game is dangerous. It allows doubt to creep in, which infects our ability to see all God is doing, and remember all he has done. It prevents us, me, from seeing Gods hand in our lives. Maybe this season is supposed to be harder than expected. But it doesn't mean God isn't with us, with me. His heart doesn't allow for it. He loves me. He loves you. With an EVERlasting love. In the storms. In the pain. In the transition. In the unknown. In the anxiety. In EVERYTHING, He loves. Focus on that today. Focus on His heart. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do and he WILL show you which path to take." Proverbs 3:5-6 ❤️
