Day 18: You Are Okay

Writer's picture: JoniJoni

Did you know that is it OKAY to be OKAY,

even if everything is not OKAY?

Think about it.

You have been ANXIOUS about ____________.

You have been WORRIED about ___________.

You have been FEARFUL about ____________.

You have been ANGRY about _____________.

But then you STOP.

You PRAY about EVERYTHING.

And then you really STOP.

And you are OKAY.

You are actually breathing.

You are starting to crack a smile,

but then you feel like

you are not allowed to smile

because what you have been

ANXIOUS

WORRIED

FEARFUL

and

ANGRY

about is still not OKAY,

but you are OKAY!

Permission to be OKAY.

Actually,

permission to be

ABUNDANTLY BETTER

than OKAY,

when things around you are not OKAY

because

GOD is always

ABUNDANTLY BETTER

than

OKAY

because

JESUS is always ABUNDANTLY BETTER than OKAY,

no matter what is or isn't OKAY in your life.

Sounds very elementary,

way too simple

that you and I

have permission to be

ABUNDANTLY BETTER than OKAY

when you feel like you shouldn't be

OKAY.

But there is only one way to be

OKAY

when things aren't

OKAY,

and that is by

having a

HEART TO HEART

with

THE ONE

who created your

HEART,

THE ONE

who knows your

HEART,

THE ONE

who wants to have a

HEART TO HEART with you.

Oh how the flood gates open

when you

pour out your heart to the LORD.

HE listens.

HE stays.

HE lets you talk and cry and whine and complain.

And then it HAPPENS.

You are OKAY,

because you are

ABUNDANTLY BETTER than OKAY.

PERMISSION TO BE OKAY WHEN YOUR LIFE ISN'T OKAY

because

letting GOD know that you are not OKAY

is when

HE makes you OKAY

because

HE is ALWAYS WORKING

FOR THE GOOD

ALL the

NOT OKAYS

that are in you life!

Just TELL GOD

because

"My heavenly FATHER knows all about this!”

(Oswald Chambers).

Oh to

BE STILL AND KNOW

that

GOD IS GOD,

is the sweet spot

of

LIVING THE ABUNDANT LIFE~

LIVING WITH MORE IN THE MIDDLE OF LESS.

So

will you be

OKAY being OKAY

even though

everything in your life is not

OKAY,

because

IN CHRIST

everything will

"BE ALRIGHT"

(listen to the song below)
