You Are Here
“I thought I would be further along by now.”
“I should have things together.”
“God knows what could have been if I would have _______ or wouldn’t have ________.”
Have you ever uttered these phrases in moments of frustration?
Maybe you are exactly where you thought you would be at the start of this year. If so, kudos from us (seriously, well played). But, maybe not… Maybe you thought by this time you would be finished with school, married, or financially secure. Maybe you think you should be retired by now, or free of the habit, or a better person all around. Maybe you are right, but “would have and should have” never push forward—they only pull back. And, you can’t go back.
The only place Jesus can meet you is where you are. The only place you can meet Him is in reality. It’s now. Not because that’s the only place He is, it’s just the only place you are. Jesus isn’t near as concerned with your yesterdays as He is your today. You are here. So is Jesus.
