Flowers From The Rain

I see my life reopening in so many ways. I’m finding newness in life. God wanted me to be ok. He wanted me to have peace. He wanted me to be content with whatever happens, and for the first time I can remember I have it. There are a lot of directions that my life could go now and for the first time I can remember I’m ok with whichever direction it goes.
So here’s the beginning again… I’ve never been here before.
Essential to the Christian faith is hope. Hope precedes knowledge, it precedes belief, and it even precedes faith. Without hope we cannot believe something as bold as the gospel. We have believed—we have faith because we have hope. We have hope that things can get better. When we lose sight of that we lose sight of the grace of God.
So we continue to hope, in whichever circumstance we find ourselves in because we want things to get better. We keep hoping even while our faith is in the dumps because God’s love and grace will always trump our pain and bring flowers from the rain.
So here I am... another fresh start!
