~ When you experience chaos and upheaval, don’t lose hope; We are here for a reason. God has a plan for us. ~
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
Thoughts to Sleep On
I want to leave you with this to ponder and sleep on tonight: What is going on right now – all the chaos and upheaval – it is designed to overwhelm us. To make us think we are alone in silos. To make us throw up our hands and say “it’s too much.” To fight amongst ourselves over inconsequential things.
STOP.
Breathe.
We Are Here for a Reason
Remember – we are here now for a reason. God put you here, at this time, because you are needed. You have skills, will, strength, tenacity, ideas, a voice – that is needed – NOW.
The greatest gift that God gives us is HOPE. Put your HOPE in the Lord – know that HE already knows how this ends. We win – because God wins. Have hope in your hearts as you go to sleep tonight – and know that it is always going to seem worst – before it gets better.
Let us make tomorrow better. Good night – and God bless. Love to all.
