If I could, I’d open my door to you. I’d welcome you in. I’d offer you my most comfortable chair and a hot cup of coffee or tea – your choice. And we could talk; face to face. I’d see the expression on your face. You’d hear the inflection in my voice. We would truly connect.
But we can’t do that. Not now.
Instead let me offer you a moment of respite. Let us dwell together here for a moment. Me on this side of my computer and you on yours. Draw closer in spirit if not in person. We can draw strength from each other. We can encourage one another.
The world out there is wild and angry. Turn it off. Shelter yourself in God’s protection. Turn to Him who knows all and whose hand is in all. Don’t look at the ugliness. Focus your gaze on God.
Psalm 119:
28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.
105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
114 You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.
Together, we can hide our weary souls from the sorrow of the world. We can use the light he provided to guide ourselves forward. We can find our hope in His refuge.
Let us do this together, any way we can, until we can be together again!
