Clarification

My thoughts are jumbled right now. A lot of confusion, frustration, happiness, joy, excitement, dread, anger, sadness, etc etc etc.

But here is what I think right now:

You can’t hold up a sign that says “Smile” and not smile yourself.

You can’t hold up a sign that says “You are loved” and not believe it yourself.

A lot of the posters generate more questions than answers to life’s problems.

You are loved - by who?

You are not alone - then who is with you?

You matter - why?

Hope is real - what does that mean?

There are answers to all these questions…but no one asks.

He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My sheep.”

John 21:17
