Messy, Beautiful Truth {Grace & Truth linkup}

I so appreciate each of you who show up to the linkup each week. And I’m blessed by reading through your posts - thank you! This week I saw a title and thought, “YES! That’s exactly how I feel!”

A few lines jumped out from her post:

“Why are we even doing this?”
“We set out with glorious expectations of victorious living and mountaintop experiences with God…And yet when we get hit in the face by crisis after crisis, or bogged down by the life-sucking sludge of everyday struggle, we are tempted to lose heart.”
“Why does the path have to be so steep, our struggle to climb it so constant?”

And then, this:
“They kept going not because it was somehow easier for them to keep believing or because the trials they faced were any less daunting, but because their deeper longing for God won out over their immediate desire for comfort and security.“

Her post is titled “The Slog to Glory“.

And really, doesn’t that seem like exactly the right word to describe our messy attempt at making it through life - slog?

Maybe you’re feeling bogged down, stuck in the mire of life. Stop over to read Tiffany’s post - and don’t miss the verses she shares on the side. I love the encouragement I found there!

Tiffany, thank you for sharing your post with us, for writing these truthful, messy, beautiful words.
