Earth is painful, our desire for God is great

Inspired

God is with us in the trenches (Emmanuel). He created us with a longing for Him. How do I find Him? He speaks to me in His Word. He tells me He will rescue me. What is His idea of rescue? I ask myself. Why didn’t He just put it all back together? Why didn’t everyone choose healing from the once wounded hand of God?

From an earthly viewpoint He is 75% successful. From God’s point of view I suspect He is 100% successful. For He says He can only stand to allow suffering for 3 or 4 generations then He Himself has to step in. He steps in, in a way that is undeniable. A way which you can’t stop your feet or your mind. Your path has been chosen and you have to go down it. There is no other way to life but to go down His path to life. You see, your chosen path ends in death.

75% of our family is alive in Christ. 25% of our family is dead in Christ. Everything he said he believed and strived for is buried by his own hands, decisions, actions, desires.

The 4 generations is over for our family. The first day of the rest of our lives has come and we are on the path. The pain is great if I see it from earthly eyes. But God’s eyes reveal victory and healing.

Isaiah 61
