I Hear His Whisper...

Live above the chaos.

You don’t need to stumble today—tripping over every obstacle of doubt and frustration. Take my hand. Let me lead you along the paths of love. I’ve already paid the ultimate price to be with you—not just to have you by my side, but to draw you into my wounded side, so we can be one. You don’t simply walk alongside of me, you walk inside of me. You live, move, and have your very being within the reality of my existence. In my presence is fullness of joy—joy that isn’t contingent upon your circumstances, joy that causes your heart to sing, even in times of difficulty, joy that is deeper than suffering. Every opposition is an opportunity for you to grow in faith, patience, and character. To learn to enjoy the freedom of faith-filled expectation. It’s a chance to trust me to be for you what you cannot be for yourself. Let my presence, not your breakthrough, be your ultimate goal, and your perspective will be changed. Come. Live above the chaos. See, from my vantage point, the beauty of your journey.

2 Corinthians 4:17–18 The Passion Translation

We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison, because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.
