Finally Friday

It’s been a long week.

If you’ve read any of my posts this week you know that.

If you haven’t read any of them, don’t bother.

So much frustration.  So much worry.  So much fear.  So much doubt.  So much pain.

Why can’t it all just go away and life can be easy?

I am sure we could come up with all kinds of psychological, spiritual, and emotional answers for those questions.

So what’s my answer?

“Just think—you don't need a thing, you've got it all! All God's gifts are right in front of you as you wait expectantly for our Master Jesus to arrive on the scene for the Finale. And not only that, but God himself is right alongside to keep you steady and on track until things are all wrapped up by Jesus. God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you. Never forget that.”  --The Message, 1 Cor. 1:7-9

Even when I worry?

Even when I doubt?

Even where I fear?

Even when I am so frustrated?

Even when I want to run away?

Even when it hurt so bad?

…Yes, my child… especially then…
