I am reading a book, nothing hyper spiritual or earth shattering. Just a novel about an Amish girl who leaves her community because of some terribly tragic things that happened to her. Anyway, that is beside the point.
At the end of the book she heard a voice say to her, amidst her grief, Nevertheless.
Tragedy strikes, nevertheless...
Life is not always what you expect, nevertheless...
Relationships fail, nevertheless...
People hurt you, nevertheless...
You feel broken, nevertheless...
You feel empty, nevertheless...
The list can go on and on. Fill in the blank. But I started thinking about that word, nevertheless. Never the less. I have heard that word plenty, I understand the meaning. But I have never REALLY thought about it.
Nevertheless means that what is coming is NEVER in subjection to what has happened. NEVER. That encourages me!
My family is in tatters, nevertheless God is good! Nevertheless healing can come!
God's goodness is never the less to our circumstances. Thank you Lord for that!
I don't always feel like a daughter of God, a friend sure, but a daughter? NEVERTHELESS, he calls me child. And calls me. And calls me. And never gives up.
I feel unworthy, nevertheless, God says I am.
What is your nevertheless today?
That is awesome Veronica! Thank you for sharing this. I totally understand how you feel that your family is in tatters right now...mine is too. But I pray God will bring restoration and healing to both of our families...don't know what that will look like..but I know He loves them all and that He is faithful.
