The LORD redeems

  the life of His servants...

                   Psalm 34. 22

(Not "The LORD will redeem,"

but He is already redeeming.

We just can't see it yet

from where we are standing.

Even in this mess.

Even through this mystery,

not that "there is a reason for this,"

   but His profound purposes

                are seamlessly woven.

"Trust Me."

Someday

   we are going to be

                   really surprised.)
