God sees things as they ultimately should be. Know God will use evil (not cause evil, use evil) to make things the way they should be. This is true peace.

Salvation has come. There is hope for you and me. That’s good news. Even better news is more salvation is still to come.
Joseph: It’s just perfect!
Too often I wait for the perfect time, perfect place, perfect person to do the thing I feel called to. What a waste! God can bless the imperfect places of life, so I don’t need to wait for perfection to act.
