The End of the Story

Trusting in God is like watching a movie borrowed from a friend who has told you, “There’s lots of drama and tense moments along the way, but don’t worry, it has a happy ending.” So even if you’re on the edge of your seat, gripping the arm of the person next to you in pure terror, or weeping in sorrow while you watch the movie, you’re also anticipating that happy ending.

Sometimes life gets awfully dicey. We get caught up in the moment and think, “Oh no, this is awful! I’ll never survive this!” We tend to forget . . . there’s more to the story.

God has proven His faithfulness in countless ways. We can look in the Bible and see testimony after testimony of how He delivers His people. We can look at examples from our own lives and see the many ways He has taken care of us, protected us, and provided for us.

No matter what situation we find ourselves in, when we remember how GOOD God is, we can find hope in the anticipation that He will make “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). There will be lots of twists and turns, even heartache and pain along the way, but always remember . . . the end of the story will be beautiful.

God bless you.
