Bright Sadness

re-posted from my facebook because I don’t want to forget God’s goodness

Some weeks are bright and some weeks are sad.
This week, walking as a pastor and friend, has been what can only be described as a bright sadness.

With new life and loved ones who pass…
with friends wrecked with addiction and others coming out of the water in baptism with new freedom.
Seeing some walk away from God and others who were asleep finally wake up to the wonder of The Lord.
Seeing relationships torn apart and others making new covenants with a ring.

There is one thing I know: 
MY HOPE is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. 

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” Psalm 103:1
