Prove It!
Before and After
It’s been decades since I wrote the following intro piece for a devotional book that was ten years in the making. Still, it comes to mind on a frequent basis. Especially when I’m struggling and find myself heading toward despair.
I want God to prove to me that I’m not just some speck of cosmic universally uncared-about space nothingness. Then I remember what I wrote all those years ago.
The past will always come back. Sometimes it brings with it memories that we enjoy. Other times it gives us reminders of who we once were as a reflection of who we are now. Occasionally, we need to be reminded of the path we started and how far we’ve strayed from it.
Our journey can be rekindled and we can choose the direction we want to go from here.

Excerpt from “Challenge: Daily Devotions for the Common Christian” (Author Link)
I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?
John 3:12
God says, “I knew you while you were still in your mother’s womb.”
