AI OVERVIEW: Life after faith is not a straight line; crooked lines do not mean God has left you. He began a good work in you and will carry it to completion until Christ returns, turning the jagged places toward purpose. Three realities of this messy life are that it can be disappointing, unfair, and confusing. Disappointment can leave you heart-sick; unfairness comes to all, and the why behind hardship is not always clear. Three truths to cling to: Jesus is the Alpha and Omega who began the good work and will finish it; the Holy Spirit recalculates when you stray; and Jesus, the Redeeman, will restore and make things right, even restoring years lost (Joel 2:25).
