The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)
Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”—Luke 9:62 (NIV)
As sure as day follows night, as inevitable as a sunset, change is part of God’s world. Be open to new opportunities that come with change and make an effort to gracefully navigate life’s changes. Stay calm and ask God for help adjusting to new circumstances—ask Him for hints of blessings to come.
Heavenly Father, help me recognize a new season of blessings.
