Look at my boy, that kid almost looking like he doesn’t belong in that picture. JD struggled with severe ADHD throughout elementary and middle school, and I worried that he would never fit into this world. Although, he ended up making it through these awkward stages and as far as the world is concerned; he thrived. Oh how I wished I had not put so much emphasis on the world and its thoughts.
I honestly cried when I saw this picture this morning. Not totally because of the pain and the difficulty of his childhood, but because of the God that ended up showing me the truth.
During my quiet time this morning, yes my God is always on time, He reminded me that just because the two disciples didn’t recognize Jesus after his resurrection, didn’t mean He wasn’t there. I wish I had recognized Jesus working in JD’s life back then and not worried so much about him being liked. If I had recognized that Jesus was right there, mine and JD’s time together would have been much more enjoyable.
Although I still struggle with the hard times JD and I had, God continues to remind me that he is there in the midst of it all. He reminds me that it’s ok for to me confused, but that I should keep clinging to my faith that NO MATTER WHAT goodness will prevail.
I don’t know who needs to read these words. I don’t know what struggle you are facing, but I do know the One who will work through the most heart wrenching situations to assure you that He is with you. Even when you are confused and don’t see Him, as the disciples were, He is there, and He is working everything for your good. I am so thankful!
~Luke 24:17 “Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it as the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.”
