1000 Truths

One of my new cherished spots has been sitting at our kitchenette in the morning and having none or maybe just 1 little monster sitting next to me. It's a lot less quiet when there's more than just me, but sometimes it lends its way to a nice dialogue. 

So on a beautiful cloudy morning, I had this conversation with James.

James to me: Mom, why isn't the sun out?
Me: James, the sun is always out.  Just because we can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.  Sometimes we just can't see the sun, but it's always there. 

I'm tearing up as I write this because as I said those few sentences, this is what I heard in my heart :
The Son is always there.  Even when I can't see Him, He is always there. 

Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Content with cloudy, rainy days?  Content with the effects of the recession on our household?  Content with a Budget????

Jeremiah 29:11-12

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

 

...Or Content that My God will never leave me.  That My God has a plan of good for me.  So I will hold on till I receive my blessing and be content that the Son is there, even when I can't see Him. 

I am going to try to commit to keep a log of 1000 truths.  It is sort of like the 1000 gifts/blessings book that most of us have read.  But I want to be reminded of and even try to look more fervently for the biblical and Godly truths that surround me even in the hard places of life. 

This is #1.  My God will never leave Me.
This is #2.  My God has a plan to prosper me, Not harm me.
