I don't like all those "always's". But the big thing is that those "always's" describe God and how God "always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres". But Christ is alive in me and He is relentlessly working his character into me.
But this is where I need a big switch to take place. "Lord, help me to stop focusing on all my failures to protect, trust, hope and persevere and help to celebrate those times, brief as they may be, when the life of Christ, the character of God, shows up in me in simple ways that are not "the old me". Thank you Lord, for those moments when I can actually see, with rock solid biblical hope, beyond "the veil" beyond the immediate to what you are working to bring about. Thank you Jesus.
