Even if.

The Sunday before I got the news that my Aunt wasn't doing too well, she was heavy on my heart during worship. Two words kept replaying in my mind as I worshipped that day, and they've been a constant grounding for me these past few days. The two words were "EVEN IF"...

At the time, I couldn't put my finger on what God was speaking to me, but as each day passes, as the emotions come and go, it's evident what those two words were for me.

They were the reminder I would need to keep pushing forward, to keep living, to keep encouraging my family, to keep my faith firm even when it feels like my heart has been torn into pieces.

The enemy has had one goal since the beginning of time, and it's to distort the image of God. To make us doubt who he is and his goodness.

These two words have been my go-to when the hurt tries to come in like a flood.

Even if God doesn't heal, I know he's a healer.

Even if God doesn't show up how I want, he's faithful.

Even if the story doesn't end how I pictured, he's still good.

We can't let the circumstances and emotions of life distort the image of our heavenly Father; because after all, the hard times are when we need him the most.

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

So don't let life steal what you know to be true.

You serve a God who knows your name.

He hasn't forgotten you.

He has a plan for you.

Be encouraged.
