Take heart, you say? Take heart?! Is that all the advice you have for me?
Ha, and then the irony strikes me...I am questioning Jesus! I am questioning the son of the living God, the creator of my being, the one who gives me breath! Yet even with such a powerful admonition – straight from the mouth of Jesus at that – I feel as though I am the one who is overcome.
But then he speaks to this weary heart of mine: “Erin, Sweetie, it’s going to be okay. I have promised to take care of you and I will not break that promise. I cannot! Remember, Daughter, I am bigger and stronger than any of your worries or troubles. So be of good courage because tomorrow is a new day; I will be with you then and until the glorious end.”
Oh, dear Jesus, thank you...
Be strong and take heart, all you who trust in the Lord. -Psalm 31:24
