That was my question to God this morning after hearing about this awful thing someone did yesterday. And, believe it or not, He answered me. I was driving back from an early morning ride to see one of my fav people, and this song played as if God was speaking directly to me:
“You’re not alone No, no, no, no I know this is gonna hurt your heart again And this I know Yes, yes, yes You can count on Me I’ll be there as your Friend To give it all you got Don’t cry cause it’s over now Don’t sigh, things are better now I will be there to give you everything you need You can always count on Me
And give it chance I’LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU” – Give it a Chance, Sanchez
Got that? No matter what evil other humans do to us we can count on God to make it up to us. He is excellent at that! I’m telling you, in every aspect of my life He gives me so much more than I can ever ask or imagine! That’s why I don’t get bitter, I get BETTER. I surrender everyone over to God sticking with my fav poem by Mother Teresa:
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
I want us having UNSWERVING (CONSTANT AND UNCHANGING) LOYALTY to God and to all our significant relationships KNOWING our reward is with God. He gives us MORE than we can ever ask for or imagine!
