World shift changes are hard. It's painful and difficult to understand. There is so much unlearning that needs to be done and so much mental work put into reminding myself about what Jesus says about his kingdom. I'm tired. I want to rest and look back, even just for a second, to a place of comfort and familiarity, but the kingdom keeps on moving forward. The Son of Man has no place to rest his head...
But I'm won to the kingdom. I'm won to the love of this God whom I praise and worship. I'm won to the love in which I have no capacity to understand and hurts to embrace. I'm won to His grace, to the suffering and trials, to His hope and joy and promise.
I know the only direction to go is forward and the only place of rest is in Jesus.
