At times
it is very hard to
Follow Jesus
even though
I know
He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. John 14:6
It especially gets so hard
when everything around you
appears
like it is falling apart,
yet
you cling to
Jesus
because that is
Faith.
I don't like it
at times
because it
is
Trusting
in
Someone
who you can't see,
yet you know exists
because you gave
Him
your life.
But then,
when you least expect it,
you smile as
Joy
returns
because
Hope
is in the midst
&
Peace
transcends your heart
because
Joy is
&
Hope is
&
Peace is
Jesus
&
not what is or what is not
going on around you.
So hard to comprehend
but
Hope is a Person
Joy is a Person
Peace is a Person~
but actually much more than just a person.
Jesus
is always
worth following,
especially in the midst of the
Joy~less, Hope~less, Peace~less times.
Is there something in your life that is heavy on your heart?
Is there uncertainty lurking at your door?
Is there a storm in your midst that just won't go away?
No matter what,
whether it gets hard
and when it isn't so hard
Just follow Jesus
Anyway~
"So we’re not giving up. How could we!
Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us,
on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without His unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times,
the lavish celebration prepared for us.
There’s far more here than meets the eye.
The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow.
But the things we can’t see now will last forever." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
