Held in His Love

Reflection

There is no corner of your life beyond the reach of God's love. Psalm 136:1 insists, "O give thanks unto the Lord; for…" — and the Lord means every word of it. He is not distant. He is not weary of you. The same love that hung the stars holds the small details of your day. Sometimes the heart needs to be reminded slowly, until the truth sinks deeper than the noise. You are loved. You are loved. You are loved. Let the truth do its quiet work today. From this love, draw the courage to face what must be faced. From this love, find the kindness to extend to those around you. The Father's heart is bigger than your worst day and gentler than your deepest fear.
