It’s okay if you are not okay

“God brings us into meaningful death with him not through ease but through difficulty. It is tears, not smiles, that form the anvil on which solid joy in God is forged. We thank God for the mountaintop experiences with him. But it is in the valley where we find him nearest and dearest to us.”- Dane Ortlund

It’s okay if you’re not okay…. God, in His mercy, has got you. He’s got your precious ones. (They are even more precious to Him!) He’s got it all. Our job: to trust and obey…. So simple, yet seldom easy. Be patient. Keep praying. Keep living. Keep loving. Keep pressing on and pressing in. Your tears are precious to Him (Psalm 56:8 NLT).
