Here’s the ugly truth. Some days look just like this painting. I painted my feelings today. Can you relate? Sometimes things are messy and frustrating and just not the way we want them to be. I think God wants the messy parts of our lives just as much as we would like to not have them. It’s because He is absolutely good. He makes an amazing trade with us. Our junk for His love. We just have to be willing and humble enough to ask for it. Prayer: Heavenly Father, here’s my stuff. Could I please trade this in? Sincerely and forever yours. Amen

What is your messy trade?

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have untied my sackcloth and encircled me with joy,

Psalm 30:11
