Today was a good day. How thankful I am that God’s promises are always true. Indeed, His mercies are new every morning. Often times, it is easy to allow our circumstances to color our view of God. When life is good we trust Him, when life is hard we question Him. One of the most precious gifts God has given me through Kayleigh’s fight and these subsequent three weeks is perspective.
God is always God. And He is always good. Always. While our circumstances change, and good days become what appear by all accounts to be bad days – He is still good. When we plant our hearts in that truth, and refuse to be moved – God does the most amazing things. Yes, difficulties still arise. Yes, there is still sadness and grief. But your perspective changes.
At the beginning of Kayleigh’s journey we decided to place our trust completely in our Heavenly Father – in all circumstances. And God has blessed that decision. He has given us glimpses of His goodness from the very beginning and in every day that has followed. Not just some days… Every. Single. Day. Without fail! Even in the hardest days, we could still see God’s hand and direction, but that’s because we knew to look for it.
Each and every one of you that has a relationship with Jesus Christ has that same access. You just have to be willing to look for it. On good days it’s so easy to find. On bad days it’s harder – but it’s still there. Truly, it’s the hard days when we are determined to see God’s goodness, that He blesses us even more. Maybe not in our external circumstance, but internal peace exceeds circumstances every time. What an amazing gift peace is.
So, tonight I say, thank you Jesus for another wonderful day.
These are some of my favorite verses.
Lamentations 3:20-24
20 I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. 21 Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: 22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. 23 Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. 24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”
Until tomorrow,
