Our God is a promise maker and a promise keeper.  That God is with you and will watch over you wherever you go.

In God’s family, loss leads to a renewal of vows.  Jesus renewed relationships and promises after the death of Lazarus.  After Abraham buried Sarah, he blessed the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah.  In the family of God we don’t give up on love.  God won’t give up on us.  We go through tough stuff, and…

Ask yourself, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”  And answer, along with Sarah and God’s great family, “No!  Nothing is too hard for the Lord!”

We may be in the gap, the in-between time, but to God we are right where we need to be.  God looks at Abraham and says, “I can’t wait to fulfill these great promises in you.”  God has promises for you, too.

You have been included not in a perfect family, but in a family where your imperfections are known and you are loved anyway.  Understanding your place in this family may be the most important thing you ever do.
