Mommy's Bandaid

My dear friends do you remember when you were young and you would get a boo boo on your knee and mommy would come with the band aid and say those simple words " you are going to be alright"?
My, how powerful word those words were, your little knee would still sting a bit but you sighed with relief just knowing that you were going to be alright just because mommy said so. How many of those band aid moments could you use for every moment that adulthood has stung you? Specifically in the last 3 1/2 years i have had many moments that i would of loved for mommy to put that band aid on and just say "it's going to be alright". Being in ministry i get to meet people going through stuff that you could not imagine, they are facing pain, disappointment's, hopelessness and sometimes i just want to have the same punch that mommies words had and say "it will be alright". Mommy has not been able to be there for all my moments of pain, loneliness and sorrow, but God has not failed me. He has put people around me at the right time, and the right words to tell me "it's going to be alright". (all--right).

If you find yourself tonight, as i have found myself so many times: alone, disappointed, hurting, desperate, tired, hopeless, i share this with you:

Psalms 121:5-6
⁵ The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
⁶ The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night

Psalm 147:3
³ He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

Guys, i share with you so hopefully you see my heart that i do not breathe or move forward unless it were for God. Many times i hurt, feel lonely, desperate for rescue, and you know he always come in time. So I encourage you to surrender all the restlessness of your heart in his hands and let his peace reign in your life. I pray that you find these words encouraging and that God surrounds you with the right people, with the right words to give you hope that only comes from God. God bless you
