“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
~ Romans 8:28
For anyone hoping, pondering, wondering why… know that He has you. 🫶🏻
Over this past year, I’ve struggled at times with God’s purpose in all that I’ve been through (& continue to muddle on through), but in all of it, there’s been such peace. 🕊️
That undeniable, inexplicable peace has been rooted in the palpable tranquility of my faith, knowing He is my refuge & my strength… & He has never left me alone in this. 🤲🏻
It’s proof that He is Emmanuel (“God with us”). And that is the beautiful season we are in, to celebrate His coming to earth as a little baby… a perfect, innocent baby. ✨
If He’d merely come as a fallible man, He could not have been a sufficient substitute to have died for our sins, giving us the chance to live in peace.
If He’d merely come down as divine, not having felt the trials of humanity, His sacrifice would not have been sufficient to redeem us.
But He did. He came. And He keeps His promises.
So, I know He will redeem my circumstance as well.
I’m going into 2026 in that peace that surpasses all understanding because He is with me. Emmanuel. 🤍
