Day 21: Suddenly


SEE you later.

SEE you soon.

"SEE you"

comes with an expectation that you will SEE that someone again.

And then SUDDENLY it happens.

SUDDENLY he or she is no longer here.

There is no warning.

Life happens. Death happens.

As we just found out that SUDDENLY

the owner of our local restaurant passed away.

Oh how it crushes our soul as this place

has become our family place.

We know him

as we SEE him every time we are there

as we SEE him

& his wife

& his grown children

&

all the staff

but not just with our eyes but with our hearts

as they SEE us with their hearts.

Now what?

He goes to work in the morning

and returns at night to his home

and now is in the arms of JESUS.

GOD knew. yet no one else did.

The REALITY of life~

SUDDENLY!

Are we every really prepared for the

SUDDEN~LYS of Life.

They happen unbeknownst to us,

yet not unbeknownst to GOD.

For HIS TIMING is not ours,

yet it is always perfect

as GOD continues to work HIS plan

that is grandeur than any plan we could ever plan.

because

GOD is GOD with plans that our beyond our comprehension.

We may not like HIS ways,

but if HE so loves us beyond our comprehension

we know that HE will never let us down

as HE comes alongside us

to fill our hearts

especially those broken places

with more of HIM

especially through times of

shock & grief~ "Do you not know? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting GOD, the CREATOR of the ends of the earth.

HE will not grow tired or weary, and HIS understanding no one can fathom.

HE gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:18-31).

The SUDDEN~LYS will come

and they will hurt our hearts

BUT GOD

is right there

because

HE IS right here

because

HE IS everywhere

as

HE SEES us all the time

and meets us right where we are.

Therefore

"GOD I LOOK TO YOU" (listen to the song below)
