There she was
sitting on the same boardwalk,
where I met her for the first time years ago.
She wasn't doing well,
as she hasn't been for awhile.
She had a setback,
that left her in despair
at the end of her rope
to a point that she didn't want to
be alive anymore.
And then it happened
GOD showed up in a way that she didn't expect.
She found it,
when she returned home,
when she wasn't even looking for it.
A picture I had given her
years ago & there "HE" was,
JESUS holding the hand of a little girl.
A peace washed over her
the moment she read the inscription
"I will never leave you" (Hebrews 13:5).
GOD showed up in a way that she didn't even expect
as she wasn't even looking.
BUT GOD
at that moment saved her life.
Is this picture a sacred shrine?
Oh no!
BUT the image & the truth of who
JESUS IS
overwhelmed her and changed everything.
Oh when GOD shows up
in the littlest things
at the exact right time~
as HE always shows up
even if we don't see, hear or feel
HIM
because
HIS LOVE
for each & every one of
HIS CREATIONS~
which you & I are~
is so much greater than our deepest sorrows.
So remember when life hits you for the worse,
GOD sent HIS SON
who has experienced the worse
as HE screamed
“MY GOD, MY GOD why have YOU forsaken ME?” (Matthew 27:46)
just so HE will walk with us through
every storm
and make the walk bearable
as we
"Fix our eyes on JESUS..." (Hebrews 12:2)
the ONE who promises
"I will never leave you or forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).
And all we have to do
is take the hand of the
ONE who finds us
right where we are
and changes everything
because
"THERE WAS JESUS"
