“So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.” Romans 5:11 NLT
Please don’t be sad! After getting to spend a whole day with Famous, I know the look he gives to me when the next day arrives and he sees me preparing to leave in the morning. Today just happened to be a church day, and I know he can no longer distinguish the difference between “work” and “church” when I tell him where I am going. It does not matter. The dress tie means the same thing: “You’re leaving me again.”
Yes, I am leaving you. But you should be glad. You should know the things I do help us to have shelter and food and those treats you like. But I also know I will miss you, and we will both be very glad when I return. And because it is a Sunday, I will be able to return sooner than on most days.
Many things in life may worry us. They can “bring us down” to the point it starts to be difficult to enjoy the gifts of the day. But this is the great grace of God: He has taken all of our griefs and sorrows upon himself. He has painted a bigger picture for us to see. Our broken hearts and spirits are not ignored by God. However, they are insignificant when we consider an eternity with our Lord.
Be glad and light of heart.
