As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.
Now ... Remain in my love. John 15:9
One would think after making it through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year ... Valentine's Day would be a breeze. Right? Not necessarily. Enduring the expectations of the 'holiday of love' can be torture. Especially, if you are grieving the loss of a loved one.
- Perhaps, your loved one is now in heaven.
- Perhaps, your loved one is now living across town following a divorce.
- Perhaps, your loved one is lost to an addiction.
In times like these, we don't feel loved. Our loss or rejection may even spill over into how we see God. We might begin to question if He can be trusted. In times like these, we need to be reminded ...
Circumstances change, but Jesus never does.
People will let us down, but Jesus never will.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He is love. He can be trusted. Hear that again ... God is love. God can be trusted.
God is good and His grace is sufficient. Yet, there will be storms of life.
The pain is real. The grief is real. The heartache is real.
So, how do you make it through the storms of life? You remain in His love.
Resist the desire to withdraw or run from Jesus. Run to Him.
Remain in His love. Remain in His love. Remain in His love.
