Lifeline

Sometimes when I'm flailing, drowning in this thing I call my life, I search out this passage:

"Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable."

(Isaiah 40.28)

As someone said to me recently, "God knows." So much lies within those two words, don't you think? God knows. He knows the intricacies of all I grapple with, the depth and fullness of my fears, longings, regrets. He knows.

It may not make everything instantaneously perfect, but it's enough.
