No matter how we may feel, we can be certain of one thing: He is near.
He is near to the broken-hearted, to the downtrodden, to those who feel they have no hope.
One of my favorite quotes comes from a woman who suffered through terrible starvation, torture, and seeing her own dear sister die at the hands of her captors. Yet God's grace was enough for her to forgive the very man that killed her sister. Corrie Ten Boom said "There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still."
Though we may feel like circumstances are just too much, that we can't go on, that isn't true. God is our strength- He will sustain us through whatever we may face. Let us remember to build our house upon that ROCK that is Christ Jesus, our deliverer. He is mighty to save- when we choose to put our trust in Him alone, He will show Himself strong.
