Look to God and for Him…
When we are caught unprepared by something unexpected or blindsided, it hurts. However, the reality of these blind spots is they don’t just exist in cars, they exist in our own lives too. It is impossible for us to see everything and to know everything. In some ways, that is a protection because it’s too much for us to hold or know, and in other ways, it can hurt. Through it all, God sees and knows all.
I am sorry if you are reading this and something like this happened to you. In recent years and circumstances, I recognize how close God is to the brokenhearted. When hurt by someone we love or even blindsided by them, God is near. It is not just a cliche phrase to say… God knows. He sees it all and He is near. His promises are true.
Draw near and He will draw near to you.
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (James 4:8)
In the hurt, pain and suffering, be honest with the Lord. Sometimes in the midst of another revealing, we experience hurt as the other person begins to heal. “Why do I need to hurt for that person to heal?” can become the cry of our heart…
but I am immediately reminded of the cross. Of course we don’t want to go through suffering, but this world is a fallen one and we were never promised we would not face trials.
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
Instead we were promised provision, peace, strength and to receive everything we need from the Lord.
It can be so hard at times, but God makes things beautiful. You are not alone in whatever you feel or face. You are never alone.
Seek God today. Seek Him in the now, in the here, in the moments before you today. Seek to know Him more. Draw near. He is there.
Have you ever experienced a time where God made a challenging time beautiful? It’s like the buds beginning to grow from the rain. Like rain’s redemption story, the tears can be used to do the same. Rise and remember…look to God and for Him, our Refuge and our Redeemer. ♡
