“Courage, dear heart.” –C.S. Lewis

“Though feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.” –C.S. Lewis

When I am at my weakest and most vulnerable, that’s when I learn that I am God’s child, that he will never fail me, that we are all equal in his eyes. That’s when I am most grateful to be a Christian who has unlimited access to God’s grace and his mercy, his forgiveness and his loving care, his sacrifice and his promise. 

I had to learn that lesson again the hard way this week. The blow to my head during the fall at poolside in early May continues to manifest in various ways. My ear crystals were unseated, and the result was extreme vertigo. The ENT got them back in place, but periodically the crystals come unseated again. When that happens there is no standing, sitting, bending, raising up in bed, or movement from one position to another that does not cause you to topple. No warning. No holding on. No slight dizziness or lightheadedness that can be controlled. Just complete loss of balance. Period. 

With my world spinning in a society where its citizens are worried about survival and crazed by changes we never thought we’d live to see in America, I learned that God’s love is never failing.
