Monday Mercies
For the soul who is weary,
For the heart that needs bravery...
If you feel lost or lonely,
Helpless or hopeless,
Shaken or broken,
Needy or needless...
There is One who sees and knows, who is brave when you are trembling,
Who is infinitely available when no one else has the time or love or care.
He knit you together before you were born and He never tires of putting you back together each time you unravel.
He loves you and has plans for you.
He is your rest, your strength and your song.
If you're in need of new mercies this morning, run to Jesus.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
If there's one thing we're promised in this world, it's the trouble. Thankfully we're not just promised that one thing. There's a bigger and better promise beyond all of that: He has overcome the world.
And if He lives in us? We are overcomers too.
Even if we feel anything but victorious.
It's true. And you don't have to believe it for it to be true. Hand your doubts and fears and troubles to Jesus, the One who has overcome all things for you.
He cares.
