When I Am Sad, He Makes Me Glad

Bad days. Those days when, with the best intentions in the world, things just go bonkers wrong. Best laid plans and everything go up in smoke. Folks to connect with are not available and the desire to be helpful fails in an epic manner.

Just want to be in a huff and shut out the world until the moan and the groan is over.

Following Jesus doesn’t make those kind of days go away. Following Jesus doesn’t mean He is obliged to change those circumstances.

Following Jesus means He gets to watch me having those days and waits until I decide to let Him in on it. Then when I give Him a chance He reminds me of a song I used to sing about Him being all the world to me. When I give Him a chance like that and He reminds me of a song like that … well … it’s still a bad day – but it’s not that bad after all.

For His Name’s Sake

Shalom
