trust

In moments of disappointment, we are reminded of our own vulnerability and dependence on God's grace.

Remember that old refrain, “He’s got the whole world in his hands”? God’s also got each one of us in his hands, and he doesn’t let go.

Endings are not the end of the story. God is still present when everything else feels unstable.

In a world where things can be ordered on demand, it’s hard to remember that true transformation takes time.

The world is a scary place--wars, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, crime--and yet how many times does Jesus command, “Do not be afraid.” 

You are not God. That might sound obvious, but it’s also a relief. You’re not responsible for holding the whole world together—just to show up with love and faithfulness in the part you’ve been given.
