I was recently challenged about what if I knew my biggest heart’s desire would come true tomorrow. How would today be different?
That’s a tough thought for me. If I am honest, I often find myself holding my breath in life. I have hope, but it hurts at times. In my sorrow I fall to my Father’s feet. Lifting my pleas to Him, He wipes my tears and gives my soul what it needs most.
Himself.
He wraps His arms of comfort around me. He pushes strands of wind whipped hair out of my eyes so I can see Him clearly. Peace consumes me as I am assured He is not going to leave me and He has not forgotten about my desires.
Our Composer orchestrates a beautiful symphony called life. Often times using a melody line composing our lessons He has taught us along the way as gentle reminders of His promises to us. Promises He will not forsake us. Promises He hears us. Promises His love never fails.
Lessons learned in tough times.
Lessons still being learned in seasons of waiting.
Lessons yet to come.
Patiently He rebuilds in those areas that are vulnerable. Like a child stepping onto a ledge with crystal water below, the anticipation of the jump is exhilarating as much as it is apprehensive. Might I urge you to take that plunge with me? The water is renewing and life giving. There you will find your promises and a hope deeper than the ocean.

“And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” Romans 5:5
