Until Then

There is a life right in front of us all that is ready to be lived. It might not be the life you always dreamed of, and it might be missing a few things, or a few people, especially lost loved ones, but Gods Word confirms your life still matters. And taking the time to delight in the present doesn’t take anything away from the future. Even when your hopes for the future are sincere and filled with good intention, you are being called to live this way on a daily basis.

Its not that easy especially in these days of Lockdown and you might feel like you are coming short, but the truth is, this moment, this day, this life is what God has given us. And the more we can accept this truth the more we will find that there is more to the present moment, than you can ever imagine.

Perhaps a new friendship can be cultivated this month. Since moving up from Cape Town, Barbara and I have made some amazing friends at our Church. We are so thankful to the Lord.

Perhaps also in the time you spend alone during the day you can find the time to journal in your Bible, or write a poem or song, or just send a message to someone that needs encouragement at this time. There are seeds to be sown here. There are plants that are already growing that are waiting to be watered. There is so much that we are longing for, but UNTIL THEN then, we have what we need by the Grace of God to take this day and Glorify the Lord with the words we speak and actions we take that may be such a blessing to others.

Let this time leading up to Christmas and the New Year, where we take each day and open our hearts and minds to what God shows us and teaches us through His Word. For through all of the things that we have gone through and the changes that has affected so many lives we have stayed strong in our Faith and have learned to keep pressing on knowing that God has it all in His Hands.
