Dear God....Friday has come and gone. The most horrific, brutal, sin-stained and yet love-filled, life-changing Friday...has ended. Although we know that Sunday will come....I often wonder...
What about that Saturday? What was it like for You? For Him? For His Mother? For His disciples? For countless lives He touched?
Saturday must have been still...uncertain...restless..
Many of us have known Fridays on our journeys. Destruction. Cruelty. Pain. Loss. Death. Disappointment. Despair. Loneliness. Betrayal.
Many of us experience Saturdays...the paralyzing, still wait between gruesome tragedies of life...and God's touch of healing and purpose. Nothing...not the darkest, most deadly Friday....nor the deafening, silent Saturday...is wasted in Your plan. It is in this wait that I must be still, realizing You hold me in my weakness, uncertainty and total surrender.
May I hold onto You in the cruelest moments. May I trust You in the silent seasons. May I quietly rest in You when I don't see, hear or understand. You are God...and You never cease working in my life. Sunday came before and Your Son will come again! May the remainder of my journey focus on Your hope, healing and holiness...until I am finally Home with You! In the Name of Your Precious Son, Amen. ♥~thl
