Could it be…

that the sweetest times,

come out of

the most challenging times…

the hardest times…

For it can be in these times,

that we encounter the sweetest,

most tender times

with the Lord. 💝✨

It is in these times,

that we feel His closeness, and His strength the most. 💔🍃☀️

He’s with us in the moment-by-moment.

As we cling to Him for dear life.

And so…

if you find yourself in this kind of place right now,

…be still, and know…

that one day,

you’ll look back upon these moments, these days, these times…

and treasure them,

perhaps the most. 🎁

For in the nearness of His presence,

He leaves you never the same. 💖

…and you can treasure these moments, even now…✨

Oh, treasure them now… 💝☀️

He holds your broken heart so close!

He is with you in your deepest pain!

Be thankful,

even

now…

Because one day, you’ll look back

and never forget the sweetness of His presence in these times.

Savor these times,

even

now…

For these are the steps of the journey that you will treasure the most.

And you’ll look back one day…

and realize

just how close

He was…

And then you’ll look at where you are standing in the “now”…

and you’ll remember

and you’ll know…

just how close,

He is…”right here, right now.” 💝

HE is the treasure that we seek. 🌟

…whether we know it in the moment or not.

Let us remember. 💖

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”—Psalm 34:18

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”—John 14:1

“On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God.”—Psalm 62:7

“For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.”—Psalm 27:5

Thank You Lord, for being a God that is near. 💝
