Guarantee

Frankly, I really dislike having conversations about God's sovereignty because such conversations can potentially get really really complicated.  I like to think that it can be boiled down to this: nothing is guaranteed in your life on Earth; our only guarantee is God.

I was actually talking with a brother at GCC earlier today about that very idea (but in different words).  In the past two years, it seems like God has been stripping away things of Earth that are a part of my identity in order to ultimately leave me with no other choice but to turn to God.  Slowly but surely, I didn't have earthly things to fall back on when I felt worried or alone.  At the same time, I began to assume the identity 'child of God'.  As a child of God, I have inherited such promise in the future that nothing on Earth can give me.  As a child of God, I don't have to worry.  As a child of God, I am loved by the King.
