This is the joy of the believer:
We won't bear our scars forever—
instead, suffering, however deep,
will be replaced with living waters.
We can stop believing lies at any time—
wrong thinking, wrong voices.
And we can rest in the One who is the author
of peace.
An invitation:
"𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘴, 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴" —Isaiah 55:1
Receive what you have not earned and cannot pay for—a gift,
"𝘏𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘔𝘦, 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴
𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳." —John 7:38
The Spirit of God working in, and flowing out,
an invitation to joy, to the opposite of emptiness:
abundant life, which no one is too far gone to receive.
