Translating a World on the Edge

There are times when we go through anguish in our lives. We may feel abandoned and alone.

We may have lost a loved one. We may have lost a job. We may have ruined ourselves in addiction, or in anger or jealousy, destroyed a relationship. We may have a child or parent or spouse who is sick, and we are the caretakers. Or we may be ill ourselves with a disease that has changed our lives forever.

We may drop to our knees and shout for God to help us, but see no change in our situation. All seems hopeless.

And then…..

A voice tells us, “I love you.” A hand we didn’t expect reaches out for us, holds us, dries our tears.

In the lives we live as human beings–all of us will experience pain in some way. The important thing to remember is we are loved by God.

The remedy for our troubles will come from our Trust in God.

And then….

“He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth.” Hosea 6:3
