A Prayer to Look to The Lord as Everlasting Father
By Chelsey DeMatteis "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." - John 10:28-30 The word "everlasting" for a long time was one that had me thinking of hard seasons, slow seasons, and seasons of my life that seemed as if they'd never end. But, God. He has redeemed this word for me because, truly the only thing everlasting is Him. No season, no hurt, no pain, not even the victories we will see as a human on this side of heaven will ever last forever. I don't know what place you find yourself in today. Maybe you're exhausted, running on autopilot; perhaps you feel like you've been in "survival mode," as my friend put it, to get through the rest of this year. Maybe you're on that mountaintop rejoicing with Jesus for the victory He's brought you. Or perhaps you're just coasting and feeling grateful that life is good. Whichever season you find yourself in, I pray you know what God's true everlasting promise means. It's not circumstantial; it's not for a span of time. It's eternal; it's everlasting. |
