In the Field of Grace

by Tessa Afshar

The very things that had seemed like unwelcome interruptions earlier rose up before him like the most important parts of his day now.

The annoying interruption to his day might turn out to be God Himself interceding for Ruth.

“Chance is God’s way of showing up without making an announcement.”

At my extremity, I became forcibly aware that I could not depend on my own strength or wisdom. But there was One on whom I could rely. If I seem faithful to you, it’s because I have no choice. I need the sheer goodness and power of the Lord to make it through every hour.”

There is not one person you love whose burden you need to carry alone. Because if they belong to you, then they belong to Him even more.

Open your eyes to Me, My child. See Me. Let My love cover the darkness within you. Let it wipe away the memory of grief. Set your mind on Me, not on death.

Fear not, for I have set My heart on overcoming Death forever.
