No more tears

I just have a quick story to share today.

Lately I’ve been feeling like a city under siege. There are pressures and difficulties on all sides. Sometimes it feels like the walls are about to cave in, and the enemy’s army will swarm right through the gap.

We all go through times of great pain. Sometimes it’s one long, drawn-out ordeal that keeps pummeling you over and over. Sometimes a lot of troubles hit all at once, one after another after another, like waves crashing down. Whenever that happens, it feels like a deliberate, coordinated attack. I know that we have an enemy in this world, and that enemy wants nothing more than to discourage, confuse, and overwhelm the children of God.

But I also know that even in the midst of that attack, God is faithful and He has not gone anywhere. He is an ever-present help for His people, even during our darkest nights.
