That was (not) easy.
I have a button on my desk, which if you press, says, “That was easy.”
I wish I could say life was easy, but most of us cannot say that. Even the people who look like they have a charmed life probably don’t behind the scenes.
What do we do when life is not easy? As a Christian, there is only one viable option… which is to hand it all over to Jesus. Easier to say than do…I know. Too often I try to hold on to things. (Worry about them, stew over them, etc.—as if that will really do any good.)
I am trying to be better at handing things over to Jesus. Daily and hourly, as needed, I am trying to make the CHOICE to hand the difficulties that come over to Him. (verbally in prayer if needed)
These things I hand over are usually things I cannot change. (My family’s health problems, aging parents, my Sister’s handicaps, etc.) Sometimes I try to grab them back.
I have to choose to hand them over! Again and again!
Life is not easy. It is difficult. That is what Jesus is for.
Hand it over!
Blessings,

This is so true Thora! Thank you. I like the ‘escape button’ idea, but I would never see any spiritual growth if I used that one. Thank you for pressing on and being an encouragement to us.
Thank you Thora 🙂 I reallllly needed this today and I am going through the same thing. You’re sharing is giving hope 🙂 I am trying even before I read this, as I read this, and will continue.
God Bless you,
Melissa
