Sometimes life is just overwhelming.  There are so many pressures and demands and expectations.  There are daily living tasks that are just taxing sometimes.  Not to mention when we get a word that doesn’t even seem to be real.  Our hearts drop.  Then race.  Our minds seem blank for a brief moment.

There, right there, in that moment if one can just catch it.  Capture it in time.  How will you respond?

Just trust in His glorious Hope.  Trust in knowing that when Jesus was on the cross, and died and rose again, in that very moment He saw you.  He saw you and all of your life.  Every moment, including the one you’re in.  And He counted it ALL JOY!    For the Joy set before Him, He endured the cross.  YOU are HIS JOY!

May His Love overwhelm you today.  May you know that YOU were worth dying and the resurrection for.  Every moment in your life right now, every one that overwhelms you and taxes you and scares you, HE saw.  And died and rose again for it, for you. For the JOY of Beautiful YOU!  Nothing is too big for Him, nothing is too small.   Oh!  How He loves you so!  May you trust in Hope and know His Joy and Love.
