dear daughters,
What a beautiful day outside! I love the fall. The weather invites us outside to enjoy God’s creation. Somehow being in His creation on a sunny day feels not only warm on the outside of me, but on the inside of me, too. We somehow feel God right there with us when we are outside enjoying His creation on a beautiful day. But gloomy, rainy days can sometimes feel lonely. When we are stuck inside, trapped in the walls of our manmade rooms, we lose sight of God’s creation and His presence with us. When we aren’t reminded of Him by our surroundings, we can think that He’s not around. But He is! The Bible says God never leaves us. Over and over again His Word promises that He is always right beside us.
Even if it’s not raining outside, we can feel like it is a rainy day. Maybe when you’re at school you sometimes feel lonely, afraid and discouraged. Maybe you wonder if God even knows. Well, He knows and He cares! He loves you and wants you to live your best so you can enjoy life the most. And He promises to walk right beside you while you do it. God said in Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." God said to be strong and courageous not once, not twice, but THREE times in just four verses! He doesn’t want us to be weak and timid, but strong and full of courage, trusting in His promise to be with us all the time and help us in all we do. Loneliness vanishes when we remember we are never alone.
living to love, loving to live,
