Lean Into Me

There is a scene from the movie "Oh, God" that I just love. John Denver's character asks God (played by George Burns) why God allows bad things to happen on Earth, why He doesn't help us. God's reply was, "I do help you. I gave you each other." I know in my own life, it is wonderful to have friends and family who can help ease the physical and emotional burdens of life. But sometimes, there are things in our lives that no words and no amount of understanding can ever "fix". In recent months, a friend asked me for some advice. When I asked God what I should say to him, God said to me Tell him to lean into Me. God didn't tell me to tell my friend what to do. Instead, He told me to point my friend to Himself in the Trinity. While I am fortunate to have some very caring people in my life to help me get through life's greatest challenges... it is sometimes just not enough. So, it is during these times that I find myself "leaning into God" even more. And, whether we realize it or not, we really have no place else to go. But, if we trust, He is always enough.
