Reach Up

Doing this reminded me that these tools of the enemy – the fear, isolation, the attempts to divide – will not defeat a heart that belongs to God. I see that we can be weakened, that we can be pushed to limits we have not known, but if we continue to reach up to God, He will continue to reach out for us. I know this because I’m living it. Even through the tears of overwhelmed children, I can experience the joy of bonding through prayer. I am being equipped with everything I need to once again see the positive. In what feels like the darkest hour, nearly three months in, I can once again be still.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
