Things will not always be like this....

"One of the most poisonous of all Satan’s whispers is simply, “Things will never change.” That lie kills expectation, trapping our heart forever in the present. To keep desire alive and flourishing, we must renew our vision for what lies ahead. Things will not always be like this. Jesus has promised to “make all things new.” Eye has not seen, ear has not heard all that God has in store for his lovers, which does not mean “we have no clue so don’t even try to imagine,” but rather, you cannot outdream God. Desire is kept alive by imagination, the antidote to resignation. We will need imagination, which is to say, we will need hope. " ----John Eldredge

I can't think of how many times I have thought to myself, "what if things never change"...and if I'm honest, I have struggled with believing that as the truth... It seems lately that everywhere I turn there are people I know that are going through rough things...(like real, life-changing, hurtful, hard things)... I myself have been struggling with some discouragement with our infertility issues...and the biggest fear of all in all of these things is wondering if it will ever get better, will it ever change....so when I read this quote today, I wanted to share it...because like me, I know there are others that need to be reminded that God is on our side, and the enemy wants nothing more than for us to feel the opposite...however, beyond the pain and the discouragement in our hearts, we know He is true.
