Great is Thy Faithfulness

[ Print’s FREE here: ]

Jesus was the only man of perfection — and He was a man of sorrows. He perfectly understands your heartbreaking sorrow — and stands heartbroken with you in it. Sometimes God allows what He can hardly stand — to accomplish more than we understand.

“It is what it is” — isn’t the whole story.

All is not what it is — it is always more.

What seems like your story — is but a line in the whole story. You discover Jesus is really enough — when you discover Jesus is really all you have left.

And this can heal a bit of our hearts: There is a Storyteller who writes Himself into the story and makes our souls well, because He walks with us until the story is finished in His perfect time, and His perfect way, for His perfect glory — so our souls are always well.
