Something brief

This evening's blog post is going to be very brief. I want to share something that my mom sent me late last night. I want to share it with you because I think that it is something that we all need to read through tonight. I hope that it really hits home with a lot of you and really lifts you up and encourages you.

"God knows what you too are facing. He sees well the brokenness that is all around you. He is not in a a panic, wondering how he'll ever pull off his plan with all these obstacles in the way. Don't be discouraged. God has you exactly where he wants you. He knows just how he will use what makes you afraid in order to build your faith. He is not surprised by the troubles you face, and he surely has no intention of leaving you to face those things on your own. He stands with you in power, glory, goodness, wisdom, and grace. He can defeat what you can't, and he intends these troubles to be no enemies that finish you but tools of grace that transform you."
