WE THRIVE

My mind is upon past memories today. Most are good, but we each have our regrets and losses. The human experience in this world is replete with personal and public pain. Deaths, wars, floods, crop failures, there is no shortage of grief. For those who know their Shepherd, there is victorious relief from the ravenous thieves of life and peace. We can not only SURVIVE the passing storms; we can THRIVE as the winds and waters rage! “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord,” Romans 8:37-39 (ESV). Father, You turn our grief into joy and our losses into victories! I rest assured in Your hands.
