Walking past the blossoming flowers, the scent of lavender fills my nose. A beautiful aroma, cascading my senses and reminding me of Your Grace.
I need this reminder.
Why?
Because some days are just plain rough.
You hear some bad news, and instantly you feel a gut-punch to your stomach – and a hay-maker to your mind.
Someone you care about gets a bad report. “How is that fair, God?” I ask.
It’s okay to be real. My God doesn’t fear hard questions…
Fast-forward.
I answer the phone, and the things I hear on the other end play on my mind. A voice, small but brave, searching for love. Searching for safety. Searching for truth.
My mind is flooded with thoughts…but I am unable to intervene.
I feel…
…useless.
Question: Why do I even think about it?
No matter how many walls I put up, I can’t keep everything out.
I am not hollow.
I have feelings.
******************
These flowers are beautiful. How old is this tree? The branches reach high above my head, covered in pink flowers.
How beautiful is Your creation.
But then I remember Your Word.
“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deut 31:8
I am not alone.
I AM, not alone.
I am not alone.
So instead of letting the problems dwell on my mind, I am going to give it to you Lord, and let You bear my burdens.
I remember when you said: “I am your Healer, your Provider and your Lawyer.”
These flowers are beautiful.
