Fresh Wind: Strength and Power for Life's Daily Challenges with Family and Friends: Fresh Wind, #2

By Shawntel Jefferson

Life is beautiful and good. God is life. But, what do you do when the not-so-good things come along, distorting your perspective of life? How do you keep moving forward when your future, which once looked so bright, now feels like your worst nightmare? Family and friends can provide additional encouragement and help one become resilient in times of trouble. But, what if family and friends are part of what's troubling you? You embrace the same truth which set you free, Jesus Christ.

A GOOD GOD

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 34:8, NIV

SOMEONE WILL LET US down. Someone will forget us. Someone will return evil for the good we do. Somehow, somewhere it will happen. The ultimate beauty of such experiences, though unpleasant, is that those experiences remind us of two great truths. The first truth is that God is a good God all of the time. The second truth is that God will never forget us. These two truths about our God can help carry us through every rough season.

His love is more powerful than all of the hate in the world. His infallible love, and our trust in Him, will continue to provide us with strength in our weak moments. They will continue to inspire us to move forward each day as we keep our minds focused on
