And in all the chaos God showed me a little piece of His beauty and rest

[alongingformore]

And in the quiet I heard the gentle whisper of God’s voice calling me

When you pray for someone, you are offering them the most purest kind of love.

God should never be the last resort...He should always be the One we run to first.

We may not know why God doesn’t stop all the different kinds of suffering – but we definitely know it’s not because He’s indifferent. God knows suffering. He chose to be born in the middle of a genocide. God knows suffering. He chose to be born as a refugee. God knows suffering. He chose to come from a place where people said no good thing could come from. God knows suffering. He chose to be poor. He chose to absorb pain. He chose to be powerless.

Ever present.

They asked me if I believed in God’s timing.They were thinking that there were moments when God was there, giving His all for us, and there were also moments when He is absent, having left us.

And I thought. I don’t believe in only God’s timing. I don’t believe that God comes and goes. I don’t believe in seasonal grace, fluctuating love, or inconsistent goodness. I believe in God’s promise– that He is an ever present help in trouble. Even when things don’t go my way, I know that He’s still with me, He’s present, He’s available– and I know that He’s still doing something good even when I don’t see. Even if I think there’s nothing there.

I believe that God has a right time for everything in our lives, but that doesn’t mean that He is absent. Just because nothing seems to be happening in our lives doesn’t mean that God already has nothing to do with us. He’s always with you and His grace is always available for you, beloved. You can even ask Him to open your eyes so you can see Him in the small and mundane things surrounding you. Just don’t think that He leaves, because He doesn’t. Your Father is always with you, whatever you’re doing.
