You know, those things like, wash your hands; wear sunscreen; take your license with you when you drive; no shirt no shoes no service; gas prices are always gonna be more than I want to pay; any amount of groceries can be carried into the house in 2 trips if it's all in plastic bags; & Jesus loves me.
those are all things that I count as truths. & yet I only ever forget the importance of the last one. If I don't wash my hands, I'll know. If I don't wear sunscreen, trust me I'll know then too. If I don't take my license with me when I drive, chances are that'll be time I get pulled over. woo. no shirt no shoes no service, I mean come on! just don't wear your pants people! As to the groceries one, I don't forget that one cause I'm way too lazy to make more than two trips! but "Jesus Loves Me" like uhhh....I forget that a lot. I forget that He's pursuing me. That He wants a relationship with me. I look at people that I love, & I think about when they're having a hard time, or going through an extremely difficult situation, & it truly breaks my heart! I want to be able to help them carry the load, & I want to make it all better. However I almost never can. & yet. here's God. He's telling me that He CAN take part of the load & make it better, & I FORGET ABOUT IT. How's that for ungrateful & stupid?!
All this to say. I've been recently very much so reminded of all the wonderful things God has & can & will do for me. Not that things are going to be great & jolly & happy & easy all the time, but that through the hard stuff, He's got my back, & He's got a plan, & in the end, He's waiting & wanting to give me the best He has.
