One prominent saying that I read a while ago and has continued to remain with me is that:
‘Stability is simply remaining in God’s love’
To my mind, this looks like me covered by wounds and scars threatening to reopen, in a room full of roaring and conflicting opinions where messages bringing heartache are numerous and inescapable …all the while my head is spinning. C h a o s. Yet in the midst of all that, God reaches out and embraces me and, in that moment, my mind becomes still. My surroundings fade out and my eyes are focused on the One surrounding me. The room is constantly changing form and new and unforeseen challenges arise to test me, but I am not conquered because I am still in His embrace. His love brings stability through every season, simply because His love never changes. The room expands and as I take a breath and venture out to new heights, He steadies my feet and with my hand clasped within His, I am stable. Though I am not certain to avoid every storm sweeping along pain and suffering, I am certain to overcome because He hasn’t left me, and He continues to hold my hand.
There are so many things we go through which really challenges our faith and so many questions which do not have simple answers. But never doubt that God is in the midst of it all because even when nothing seems to make sense, His love is that one stabilising factor. Cling onto His love and sure enough, you’ll find your footing again.
