I've been feeling very conflicted about maintaining a positive outlook on every post. My best friend was telling me that isn't necessarily very honest given the situation. Every day is not easy or happy when waiting for the return of a prodigal. Many days are filled with trials, discouragement, sorrow, and defeat. Even the easy days are hard. I guess I just didn't want this to be an angry or sad place where despair fills the screen because that is not the God we serve. Our Father is a God of HOPE and kept promises. Yes the trials come and really awful things happen that make us all want to lay down in a pool of our own tears never to get back up again but our Lord is always there to pick us back up. His loving, merciful, strong arms are far-reaching into the pit of despair and He never leaves us there.
So yes there is pain, copious amounts of it and it weighs upon me heavily every day but the God I serve loves me and I want to be sure to reflect not only that love but likewise the truth about His character and how He works in my life and the lives of others. Therefore, I want to be as hopeful as possible with my words.
I love and miss my beloved so much but I know that our Father is working and He will give me another opportunity to love him better.
God Bless
