You Were Made to CountNäide

God made you to count. He cares for you deeply, even when circumstances are bleak.

And it is possible to find God in disappointment. Today we’ll talk about how.

Today’s invitation: Whatever disappointment you face today, give it to God. Cry out to our friend Jesus, and embrace all of the pain, confusion, mystery, and unknowing of life around you. Seek Him despite it. Remember that we are not saccharin, and we are not chirping, and we are not triumphalistic. We do not pretend to understand, and we do not yet see clearly, all the way to the end, as God does. Therefore, we do not despair.
