IT happens.
And you can't believe IT happens.
BUT IT is part of life.
BUT when IT hits you
you start to wonder
&
you may start to question
the ONE who you TRUST,
because HE is in control
and HE is good,
oh so very good,
BUT IT still happened.
How could GOD let IT happen?
I am sure you have an IT
because
IT happens when we don't plan for IT~
because why would we want IT to happen
because IT isn't very good.
Do you have an IT in your life right now that you wish IT didn't happen?
And have you looked up with tears in your eyes and your heart
and said
BUT GOD?????
Oh wow, I didn't expect this to happen as I now have tears in my eyes
the moment I wrote those words~
"BUT GOD".
And I know why.
These are RECEIVING TEARS
as I see HIS tenderness
HIS compassion
HIS I am with you
HIS I will never leave you
HIS
I am here for you always.
Because GOD answers all of our
BUT GOD _______?
Because GOD is GOOD
so very GOOD
even when the IT isn't so GOOD~
"BUT GOD,
being [so very] rich in mercy, because of HIS great and wonderful love with which HE loved us, even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from HIM because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with CHRIST (for by HIS grace—HIS undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from GOD'S judgment)" (Ephesians 2:4-8 AMP)
BUT is GOD'S GRACE enough in those moments
when the IT is beyond your comprehension
because IT is something that is so overwhelming
that IT feels like it is going to crush you?
Oh yes.
Because if it wasn't for
HIS GRACE
who would we be able to ask
"BUT GOD"?
What if GOD wasn't there
to absorb our TEARS
so that HE could fill us
with
HIS PEACE that transcends all understanding
and who
overwhelms us with HIS PRESENCE
because
even though
"________ (put your name) flesh
and _______'s heart may fail"*
there is an awesome promise that pierces your heart
despite the IT~
"BUT GOD
is the rock and strength of _____'s heart and ______'s portion forever" *(Psalm 73:26)
Oh I am not minimizing your IT,
because whatever your IT is
IT comes with deep pain and sorrow.
BUT if GOD wasn't my GOD
I would never be able to be standing today
because GOD is the only one who
can overtake all of our
ITS
while we are living in the midst of IT
because
BUT GOD
is
"BIG ENOUGH"
