Wars and Rumors of Wars

Tensions are high this week. Personally. Globally. ⁣

Pending scans and anniversaries. Wars and rumors of wars.⁣

I have never been so grateful to be a child of God.⁣

I think about what it would be like to be caught in the crossfire of something I wanted nothing to do with.⁣

To live with a target on my back.⁣

To stare down the end of my life at the hands of someone who found joy in the taking.⁣

Where would the ultimate comfort come from?⁣

Not my family or friends. Not my co-workers. Not my president or my pastor.⁣

From the same place I found it when the test results did not come back all clear.⁣

Jesus.⁣

Being pursued by him has been the greatest joy. Following him, the most unexpected adventure. ⁣

He’s already in tomorrow. He’s already written the end. And he holds me securely in his hands. Through whatever happens here or halfway across the world.⁣

If you walked away, come back. If you’re on the fence, climb off. If you ever wondered if there was something more, there is. ⁣

The battles of this life will be many, but he has already won the war. ⁣

And his is the only side worth choosing.⁣

Isaiah 43:1 - Fear not, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by name, you are mine. ⁣
