I had a hard day yesterday with both head and heart pain. I am, of course, more susceptible to feeling overwhelmed when I have a migraine so it’s not surprising that I was sucked into the whirlwind of perspective loss.
Just as unexpected kindnesses have a way of reconnecting me to hope so also, does unexpected harshness have it’s way of plummeting me into darkness.
God gives me a choice in the darkness. I can free fall into it or I can reach for the hand holding me and allow Him to pull me out. And the wonderful thing is He holds on until I decide.
Darkness is helpful when one has a migraine even if it is a different kind and the darkness of yesterday escorted me to the pages of God’s Word. The light I found there was soothing and empowering, chasing me out of the darkness and back into the light of hope.
He not only lifts me out of the pit, He also empowers me to have compassion on those who refuse to leave it.
Wow.
Our God is good, ALL the time
