How are you?

How are you doing today? No, I mean, how are you really doing? When was the last time someone asked you this question? When was the last time you were vulnerable enough to respond? You see, we can fool ourselves into thinking we are fine when in reality, there is something deep inside of us tugging at our soul. We may not know what that something is, but we know there is a God who does. So no matter how you’re truly doing, just know that you are not alone. The Creator of the universe is sitting beside you letting you know that you can be brutally honest about your feelings. There is nothing you can say or do that will surprise Him. He is the Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end. He is the overseer of all things, but most importantly, He is the overseer of your heart. Whether it’s in pieces or hanging on by a thread, The Lord of Lords can mend it back together. You don’t need to be afraid of trusting God. But maybe in your past, trust has been broken. It is another empty promise collecting dust on the shelf. But I encourage you to dust it off and give it another try. Place it in God’s hands and see what happens. You might not feel at ease right way, but He is faithful.

Eventually you will see His goodness. Eventually you will see the anger and the bitterness wash away. Eventually you will experience peace.
