“…For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. …” –Jesus
Luke 9:24 NKJV
O Lord… we waste so much time and energy on things that don’t matter…
How gracious You are to use it all… to draw us to You…
How amazing… You stand by and watch us waste what You’ve given… only to use it for incredible transformation…
Nothing is a waste… in… Your… hands…
Pursuit of You… is all that matters…
Allowing You to unfold our lives before You… to see who You are… and who we are in You…
Deeply loved… precious in Your sight… treasured…
THIS LIFE PASSES IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. BUT THE STORY HAS ONLY BEGUN. SO GO, TASTE AND SEE THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
I’LL SEE YOU IN A LITTLE WHILE.
Love, Dad
–Note at the end of the Steven Curtis Chapman music video for Glorious Unfolding
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1Peter 5:10-11 ESV
