Our Daily Grace: Grace in Troubled Times

"Love overcomes everything that is counter to peace and love."

Julian of Norwich

"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.  I've called your name. You're mine.  When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.  When you're in rough waters, you will not go down."

Isaiah 43:1-2

God doesn't leave us to suffer the troubles of this life alone.  He is with us, suffering with us, feeling every hurt and loving us through.  Jesus said that in this world we would have trouble, but to take heart because He has overcome this world.  And He is the One who lives inside of us.  His love and strength continually hold us up.  With Him inside us like that, we will not be overcome but instead be overcomers because it is up to Him to take care of us and He never fails!

A thought: He will see me through it all.

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
