C'est La Vie

 

“I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace.  In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage-I have conquered the world.”  -Jesus Christ (John 16:33)

If you are at all like me, then you like to work things out before their respective times have come.  It’s human nature to think ahead and plan for such; it’s ingrained in much of our thinking as we are all taught this by the world. However, we must learn to live in the present day, as difficult as it is, and learn to accept the limitations of each day.  These past few days have been challenging, difficult, and scary, no doubt about it.  If I have learned anything in self-reflection during this time of quarantine and social distancing, it is that God is still good and He's still in control of this world, despite this terrible pandemic that we are all dealing with.  

We must focus on the agenda for each day, taking one day at a time, and this requires us seeking our loving Father to know what is part of His plan for us-remembering that there is a time for everything.   

A life focused on God’s Presence is not complicated; it’s one that is full of peace knowing that Jesus has overcome and conquered this messy world that we live in.  Thanks be to God!
