Several things will be true in each day: the earth, the heavens, the sun, the moon, the seasons..... life / health / death / and everything in between: joy, sadness, friends, enemies, love, encouragement, hate, despair....
Yes, each day we are always promised those miraculous things of God mingled with the troubles of the world - of which Jesus said - "But, I have overcome the world!" .... AND - the single most incredible promise I experience DAILY - -- -- PEACE. "PEACE, I leave you ..... " said Jesus! Without it - what would I be - what would I have?
The daily news of despair, vengence, revenge, hate, chaos, etc... each day filled with jealousy from those who do not even know me - or pretend to but spend their lives justifying how "wrong" I am - how "wrong" my life.... Sound familiar?
I am sure everyone has these "friends" - knows these people. Sometimes - maybe most times, I do believe people do not know any better - and/or say the wrong thing out of just busy lives or carelessness - and not in anyway a distinct reason to attack. Or perhaps attacking with the idea of defending love ..... the love of protecting their family & themselves - and righteously so as only they could understand it. But, though these "wrongs" exist in every waking minute and hour - yet does the Lord SHINE! with the Light & Love I experience each second or even without time. I am held in the arms of my husband, my provider, my Love, my Lord, MY GOD! Thankfully.
I hope to always notice how our Lord allows such "testing" - each second, each minute, each time. And, how endearing and thankful am I that God gives me "time" to discern and not falter myself to judge with rancor a circumstance or person of vengence.
