Life Update

Life is a strange and mysterious creature. There are many highs and lows and everything in between. Many are crippled by the lows. Life can seem as if it just isn't worth living anymore. But I have hope. A hope that exist beyond myself. A hope that rest in the sovereign God of the universe. I have learned that there is joy to be had in life regardless of circumstances. This joy is only available through Jesus who gives freely and to all. You can have joy in life if you only look to Jesus. He is greater than your pain or circumstances. He is still in control. It is Jesus who also allows me find more pleasure in the things that I have been blessed. It is Jesus who allows me to love my wife at a higher level because of love. Food taste better, sleep seems more restful, pain less painful, movies more enjoyable, jokes become even funnier, life becomes worth living. Jesus has allowed me to enter into such an amazing point of my life. My wife will soon deliver our first child, Sawyer Reid Beckworth. My ministry is in a season of bearing much fruit. I have sweet relationships with friends who love me. It is this joy that allows me to face tomorrow. What will I do if all these things are stripped from me? I must say that my hope is in the Lord. He is good. He only does good and I will praise the God who gives and takes away.
