The Promise

Have you ever had the kind of day, or week, where you know that all the head knowledge you have of the mighty things of God, just isn't working for ya?
Like, I know that God has me in the palm of His Hand...I know He works all things together for good to those who trust Him, seek Him, know Him.
I know He didn't promise that our skies would always be blue and life would be so simple and happy. I know the way to heaven is fraught with trials and temptations and the storms of ....well....life.

I know He loves me unconditionally.
I know He has a purpose and a plan.

but today is just such a grey day for me spiritually-speaking.
and I know the root of it.
And it's something I don't talk about with anyone; yet it's there.
Waiting to be dealt with.

Yet, my heart doesn't want to deal with it.......

So....although I know it will all be good for me, spiritually, I just avoid it for now.

And try to cling to the promise that He will never leave me or stop loving me.
That He knows everything about me and what I am feeling/experiencing/thinking.
And that He cares.....and is waiting for me to bring it all to Him.

He waits with open arms......that is a promise....like the rainbow after a storm is a promise.

And when I am ready to face this truth that is simmering below the surface of my heart, He will be waiting for me with those open arms, for me to fall into and be embraced.

It's a good thing His Word is true.....it is what I am clinging to this grey day........
