I was heartbroken after (well, during and after) a painful discussion with what some might call “my goddaughter.”

After several painful life events, I replied thusly:

I may not have money, and I may be kind of afraid of where rent and food are coming from.

But I have and have had peace and joy even when we have been hungry or had no place to sleep.

The point isn’t to be secure in money or food or in work, because in this world these will always be scarce at some point.

The point of following Jesus is to have His Peace and be content in any and every situation. Which can only happen when i am secure In my Identity as HIS, as Rabena’s child.

I want you to be secure In Him and healed, whole, and settled. No matter what happens. Because a nasty war coming soon…
