Life is a series of goodbyes and hellos. Of broken dreams and dreams transformed. Often times life doesn’t make sense, and we’re stuck wondering what went wrong, and where we went astray.
I’m not so sure, in those troubled times, that we did go astray. God never promised that our lives would be easy or simple when we chose to follow Him. In fact, God promised quite the opposite. We’re told that we’re “blessed when [our] commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives [us] deeper into God’s kingdom.” (Matthew 5:10, MSG) Perhaps these times of struggle, the goodbyes we must utter, are intended to draw us closer to Him.
Are you facing a series of goodbyes and hellos? How are they driving you deeper into God’s kingdom?
