No one really knows when all this crap will end and life as we used to know it will return back to normal. But, that’s ok! I know there is One that knows the exact date this will all end but perhaps, He doesn’t want things to return back to business as usual. Maybe, God wants us to use this extended time of alienation, separation, and social distancing to fully appreciate the most important asset in our lives which are the people in our lives. This shouldn’t be a shock because He exampled this disposition when He manifested in the flesh, took on all of our sins (past, present, and future), and died on a cross so that we wouldn’t have to spend eternity without Him. Jesus chose to social distance himself from the Father so that through His sacrifice we all would become one with the Triune God (Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit). Watch this; what the enemy don’t want you to know is that families who haven’t talked for years are know conversing again via zoom and other live video platforms, marriages are being restored, friendships are rebooting, families are spending time together, and lives are being forever changed. Yes, God uses the bad things that occur in our lives for the good because nothing He does is bad! Let me put it this way, because of God’s great love for us, Jesus bore not only the judgment of God for sins but also our sickness and disease. Jesus said John 16:33, “…… In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage — I have conquered the world.” Tada!! This means that Corona is already defeated! So, today while your practicing social distancing try distancing yourself from the news for at least a day. Reach out to one of your family members or friends and remind them God’s is with us, we will get through this, and His love will always shine the brightest even in the darkest time.
