Always

Sometimes, life can get hard.  It can take unexpected turns.  A mountain road looms ahead when we expected the quick free-way.  It can be messy too.  Full of hurts and things that we truly could never happen to us.  Sometimes, things just aren't what they seem or what we wish or how they need to be.
But, for all of those sometimes, there is and Always.  He is always there.  Always awake.  Always loving.  Always willing.  Always gracious.  Always truthful.  Always faithful.  Always kind.   Always comforting.  Always providing. Always.  Not sometimes....
But, it's easy to let the sometimes overtake the Always.  It's easy to forget that he is constant and without fail for us.  Not for what we want, but for us.  Cheering us on.  Encouraging us.  Believing the best about us.  Patient with us.  Willing to stay.  The sometimes will end or change, but the Always never will. 
And that is what means so much to me this Easter.  My Always has overcome my sometimes with His forever overshadowing my right now.
