take heart.

taste and see;
know the Lord is good.

worry not when life gets difficult,
or if nights are lonely,
and even when your heart becomes too heavy.

God is still God,
and we are still not.
we will remain humans in need of Christ.
sinners in need of a Savior.

and then someday

[i see glimpses of it on occasion],

we will fully understand that it's okay,
because it is not about us,
everything ever created is for His glory.

(and sometimes it hurts because face it, growth hurts).

but He does not leave us empty handed,
no He does not leave us lost.

look, taste, see what He has said:

Micah 7:18 & 19-
"who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity
and passes over the rebellious act
of the remnant of His possession?
He does not retain His anger forever,
because He delights in unchanging (steadfast) love.
He will again have compassion on us;
He will tread our iniquities under foot.
Yes, You will cast all their sins

into the depths of the sea."

amen?
