Nothing about your life situation is a surprise to God. So, yield to him and have the assurance you will be kept, safe and secure.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And my friend Kara Tippetts wrote an excellent book called The Hardest Peace. It’s a great title, and she wrote it when she was dying of brain cancer. Kara sent me an encouraging email before she passed away. She said, “Joni, for the Christian, there are no mistakes. There is not a rogue cell in my body. Nothing takes God by surprise. We are known and we are kept. Glory be. And one day, we will fly away to the land of no more tears and look into the face of our love and know we are cherished, and those behind us will be kept.” You probably aren’t struggling with brain cancer, but you have other disappointments you’re experiencing. Please remember that the circumstances you find yourself in are Romans 8:28 circumstances. Nothing about your life situation is a surprise to God. So, yield to him and have the assurance you will be kept, safe and secure.
