M,
When you wonder off the path set out before you or life happens and you find yourself worn down by it all, unable to move forward, please remember whose reign it is you are truly under.
This plane has fallen to sin and for each patch of land we occupy someone has laid claim and proceeded to rule over it. That is true and fine. But this fallen plane, and the patch of land, and the ruler who claims ownership are all under His purview.
So many wheels are turning at the same time both in your life and the world around you. It’s a loud world and it is hard to focus with so much going on – and oftentimes going wrong. In difficult times it is His unfailing love that should centre you. His forgiveness and many mercies should comfort you. In His grace should you find peace.
Know that whatever you think makes you unworthy is meaningless to Him as long as you come to Him. Know that you can never stray so far that His love will not suffice to bring you home once more. Know that when you are browbeaten and on the floor, He will lift you in His arms and cover you in His cloak. He cares for you and always will, an unchanging truth. Come home to Him.
