From beginning to end

Perhaps the end of today left you bereft, and the beginning of tomorrow feels daunting with more of the same 👉 grief without relief.

I get it  twenty plus years into a lifearked by infertility and many other unspoken unchosens... I get it. The days in exile can feel long, and the nights even longer.

Perhaps the peace you are looking and longing for will not come through your earthly circumstances.

Perhaps all we really need is to turn deeply inward to the Prince of Peace, who lives in us by His Holy Spirit. 🕊

Take a moment to pause and consider connecting, or reconnecting with Jesus, the Alpha and the Omega.

He is the uncaused cause of the beginning and the end.

🌎 Never having ceased to exist, he is the one who began time as we know it and the one who will bring all things to their victorious end.🙌

In the Alpha - Jesus was with God and he is God. He became flesh, dwelling among us.

His earthly "alpha" was of humble origins - a manger scene, because "there was no room for him." The irony...the Kings of kings entering a world full of people he created, who would have no space for him. Wow! 😮

Does the Alpha through the Omega of your day have room for him?

🖤 He is also the double Omega 🖤

He was the Omega on the cross when he said, "It is finished," and he is the Omega of time, when one day all wrongs will be made right with his return.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

🌙 Maybe tonight is full of tears, and maybe tomorrow will be too....

Here in your valley of weeping,  in the valley of the shadow of death,  I pray you will fear no evil because He...👇

...your Creator, your Wonderful Counselor, your Prince of Peace, your Everlasting Father, your Kinsman Redeemer, your friend, your Maker, your Burden Bearer...

👆 He. is. with. you...

along with all the other daughters and sons of God, who are on unchosen journeys. 💗🙏

💭 Take a moment with me now to stir your God-given imagination. First envision hosts of men and women across the world weeping with you... (in their cars, beds, tents, and under the stars)

Now invite in the Man of Sorrows, aquainted with bitterest grief, to join his tears with yours...

... Hear your voice mouthing, whispering, or maybe shouting after his, "Father, if it be your will, let this cup pass, but not my will, but yours be done," and know... just as he was heard, so also are you...all of you! 💗🙏

Maybe tonight, in your heaviness, or tomorrow in your numbness you can simply repeat, "I'm heard, I'm heard, I'm heard...," or "I'm seen, I'm seem, I'm seen... "

I hope this #messageinabottle rolls up on your social shore at just the right moment.
