Okay

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. (Romans 8:16, NLT)

Earlier this year we renovated an apartment. We purchased a new…yes, brand new...bathroom vanity and had it installed and before it was even fully installed, the paint started peeling. I've been needing to sand and repaint it. It's on my list.

This morning, as I looked at the paint (that keeps peeling) I thought back to when we were in the midst of renovations. Thankfully, now we just have a few items here and there to work on. But back in the midst of the renovations, Mikea (my nine year old) walked up to Mike and I and said, "Isn't this such a nice place? We are so blessed and everything is so pretty and new." She didn't mention the bathroom vanity. Her statement threw us into a conversation: when parents are okay, kids are okay. For the most part, Mike and I remained extremely positive only dwelling on the positive aspects of the renovations. Our girls never made a negative comment. Since their parents were okay, they were okay.

I have a good report for you today, Your Heavenly Father is okay…more than okay!

You may be going through something right now that doesn't seem okay, but the truth is…Your Heavenly Father is okay which makes you okay...more than okay! (Romans 8:16)

I once heard Dr. Terry Mize make the following comment, "Truth always trumps true. God's Word is Absolute Truth"

Something may be true right now:

• Difficult marriage
• Negative doctor's report
• Financial problems
• Rebellious child/ren
• Broken heart

But we can take Truth and trump true. 

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8, NKJV)

Lord, in the name of Jesus, we know You are able to and that You make all grace about toward us, that we, always have all sufficiency in all things, and in abundance for every good work! Thank You for never lying to us! Thank You for watching over Your Word to perform it! Thank You for blessing us and keeping us! You are good, always good and we love and adore You! We are grateful You take pleasure in the prosperity of Your servants! Thank You for showing Yourself and Your heart to every reader right now in the name of Jesus! 

We love to hear from you, how has God shown you, you are okay?
