... with you!

Some things in life are rigged in our favor no matter how they appear.

Other things are rigged against us, unbeknownst to our knowledge...so we oftentimes walk paths that will cause us to misinterpret our circumstances and second guess our positioning.

Nevertheless God is with us. He's always with us.

Even when our prayers seem to have gone unanswered and our pain seems too weighty to bear, God is... still... there.

I believe that He stands where we have the capacity for Him to stand. When we are in alignment with Him, He is right along side us in an indescribable closeness.... but when we are out of line, He is there but observing from afar... wanting us to employ whatever bandwidth we have to exercise our free will... and

He...

Still...

There...

Waiting to slay the very things that would destroy us or there to embrace us when those battles have been lost and what remains is destruction. But with US, all the same.

An apparent fact is that no matter the appearance of circumstances, if time is allowed and our hearts are open, what once stopped our breath and desire to go on ...can help us to resemble and reveal a new thing. It can resemble His covering, His grace and the reality that God shows His love for us through people.

Those that we've lost, once loved us and showed us unconditional love; an example of God's love... the relationships that fail have shown us what sacrifice and covering looks like; similar to the sacrifice that God's Son made for us...the opportunities that we have in our careers, with our families, ministries and communities is also an example of the Godly grace and abundance that is offered to us daily. Many things in our life we don't deserve, this is true but there are so many other things that are fruitful which we are incredibly undeserving of and we often walk around feeling entitled to these very things....

Nevertheless He is with us and if we develop a posture that reminds us of this very fact, we will realize exactly how close He is, how loving He is and how "for us" He is... and with Him, we are never alone.... this takes time to arrive to but once this is grasped, every circumstance is life can be handled with much more understanding and we will free ourselves from extended periods of heartache... and step into His glory and the blessings that he's given to us no matter the length of time that we have them.

I am so humbled by this and thankful.

I pray that this kind of peace is your portion and you sit back to truly realize how blessed you already are & the company you have, in Him!
