Take it off

There are days I wear my Grief like pajamas. Bitterness fits like a well worn bathrobe. Sadness warms my feet like familiar slippers, and Anger weighs me down like the wet towel wrapped around my hair.

Today I’ve worn —>All. The. Feelings.<— Taking one article off just to put another on.

And then I remembered my Truth. And my Choice. And the fact that my Creator – the very One that knit me together in my mother’s womb and knew me before I was even born, CALLED ME to cast off my dirty rags and put on Righteous clothing. I remembered that there is a shiny Suit of Armor (Ephesians 6:10-18) that fits me like a glove, and THAT, my friends, is what I should be wearing today.

My Everlasting Father, my King of Kings, my Almighty God – He has given me His FULL POWER to tackle this day (filled with *All*The*Brokenness*) with my head held high, knowing that WHATEVER the outcome, HE IS STILL GOD. And He is still GOOD. He will never EVER change, and that, my friends, is a Truth I can wear like a tattoo for the rest of my life.

He is still good.

Through it all, through all the brokenness and shattered lives, through the heartbreak and the pain, late night tears after the kids go to bed… My God is still a good God. My God is still a God who has the power to transform lives. My God is a God who can still perform the most unlikely of miracles.

But here’s the kicker.

… If those miracles never happen the way we pray for them to happen, and if those lives aren’t changed in ways we have been begging and pleading for them to change… If not… He is still good.

Let me repeat that:

If not, He. Is. Still. Good.
