You Were Never Meant To Hold All Things Together

You were never meant to hold all things together.

You were never meant to depend on your plans, your health, your freedom, your future, your finances.

You were always meant to hold on to those things loosely, and cling tightly to the One who holds it all together. Jesus holds all things together (Col 1:17).

Maybe all the things that are falling apart right now can be a reminder of what we actually have the ability to hold and what we do not.

Maybe through this we can learn to place our trust in something far greater than ourselves and the things we so often depend on.

Maybe through current heartache, disappointment, and fear, we can find that we don't need to hold things together. He can.

And maybe, just maybe, through all this, we might find just how held we are.
