Sometimes life can sucker punch us.
You wake up to news that makes your head spin.
Life can change in a heartbeat.
Things don’t work out the way we thought they would. We are left wondering and wandering, dazed and disturbed.
Sometimes, we need a hope with love handles, we need something that we can grab hold of with both hands and not let go.
We need a grace that is thick, something strong enough to pull us up.
Sometimes a promise isn’t enough, we need presence.
Sometimes, we need to remember that the Maker of the cosmos is our unshakable companion.
God has love handles.
If you are going through the season of the sucker punch, I pray that the Comforter, the Spirit of the living God, would be present…totally, tangibly present.
And, that He would be so close that you feel His breath on your face, close enough that you can grab His love handles.
You are not alone.
