Pause for a moment…
because this is not just a beautiful idea to share… it’s a truth that, if you truly understand it, can change the way you face your entire life.
We live rushing.
Rushing against time, against mistakes from the past, against things that didn’t turn out the way we wanted… and also rushing toward a future we don’t know, but worry about.
There are days when we carry things no one sees:
unhealed guilt, decisions that still weigh on us, unanswered questions…
and at the same time, fear.
Fear of what’s coming, of losing, of failing again.
And in the middle of all that… we try to hold ourselves together with whatever we have:
a person, an income, a routine, a distraction… anything that gives us a little stability.
But the truth is this…
all of that changes.
That’s why when God reveals Himself in Revelation, He doesn’t do it as a religious idea… He declares something that breaks everything we understand about time:
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8)
He doesn’t say “I was”…
He doesn’t say “I will be”…
He says: I am… the One who was… and the One who is to come.
God is not trapped in time like we are.
For Him, your past is not distant… He sees it clearly.
Your present is not confusing… He understands it completely.
And your future… He already knows it.
And this is where it stops being theory… and becomes personal.
Because you are trapped in time.
There are things you’ve done that you wish you could erase…
moments that marked you… words you said… decisions you made…
and sometimes you live as if that defines who you are today.
But Christ was…
and that means He already stepped into your past.
He didn’t just see it… He redeemed it.
On the cross, He didn’t carry part of your story… He carried all of it.
Even the parts you still struggle to forgive yourself for.
Then there’s your present… that place no one lives but you.
Where you smile on the outside but feel tired on the inside…
where you do the right thing but still feel empty…
where you pray… but sometimes feel silence.
And that’s where Hebrews makes it clear:
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
He is not the same only in the past…
He is the same today.
The same One who healed… still heals.
The same One who lifted… still lifts.
The same One who restored… still restores.
You have not been ignored…
you have not been forgotten…
you are not walking alone, even if it feels that way.
And then there’s what unsettles us the most… the future.
That place where our mind fills with “what if…”
What if I lose this?
What if it doesn’t work?
What if everything goes wrong?
But when God says He is to come, He’s not only talking about His return…
He’s declaring that your story is not left to chance.
Your future is not in the hands of fear…
it is in the hands of a God who was already there before you arrive.
And when you understand this… something shifts inside you.
You no longer need to control everything.
You no longer need to understand every step.
You no longer depend on everything going perfectly to have peace.
Because your faith is no longer in what changes…
it is in the One who never changes.
Let me leave you with this reflection…
how much of your anxiety comes from trying to control what only God can sustain?
Because when you try to carry what was never yours to carry… you break.
But when you rest in the One who is, was, and will be… you find something this world cannot give: real peace.
And before you go on with your day…
I invite you to pray with me, from the heart…
Lord…
I have tried to understand everything, to control everything… and I am tired.
I carry things from the past that still hurt…
I feel unsettled in my present…
and I am afraid of what’s ahead.
But today I remember who You are.
The One who was… and redeemed my story.
The One who is… and walks with me now.
And the One who will be… and already holds my future in His hands.
Teach me to let go…
to trust…
and to rest in You, not in what I see.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Somos Cristianos, connecting hearts with Christ.
