This is an honest post. I don’t have any great revelations currently, or amazing things that I have learned. I am just making it.
Recently I moved into my apartment and let’s just say I haven’t lived this comfortably in a long time. I am very grateful. I am also walking again! Slowly and stiffly, but it is getting there.
On the flip side I am afraid of it being to good to be true. What if my knee doesn’t flex back to full extension? What if this apartment has issues and that is why I got such a good deal on it?
Being someone who has faced a lot of hard things it is honestly hard to enjoy the peaceful things, because you don’t know when they will end.
“The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”-John 10:10-This verse has been running through my head for weeks. As the enemy is trying to destroy us, God is giving us abundant life. I still wonder what it looks like to have that in physical pain and injury. What about facing the death of someone you love? Or, even hatred from others?
“Lord, I know you have given abundant life, help us to receive it. To know how to live in it, especially when the enemy is trying to destroy us.”
As we continue living in the now, let us live in joy. Because, we have a piece of eternal life right now, which is relationship with the trinity and the saints.
