Some people judge a book by it's cover, but I judge it by it's last chapter. As we read the Bible, we have the benefit of seeing the whole picture. The end of the story is obvious to us, but to the actual participants, the results were long coming.
It's easy to believe everything is going to work out when you can turn the page and see the ending, but it's different if you are living through it.
Just as night conceals earth, but reveals the universe, your dark times can reveal truths about God you wouldn't see otherwise.
Faith is not necessarily the power to make things the way we want them to be; it it the courage to face things as they are.-Ronald Dunn
No sacrifice we make on this earth can be any greater than what God has already sacrificed for our salvation.
God loves us so much that sometimes He gives us what we need and not what we ask.
Trials and distress are not something unusual in life; they are part of what it means to be human in a fallen world.
Everything we go through in life is part of God's story. Being where we are right now is the only way to get where we are going. I'll take all the ouches in the world for the privilege that God has down the path for us.
It's all about knowing He loves us and because His love is perfect we can trust His perfect plans, no matter what they are.
Pain will either turn us against God or draw us to Him. The choice is ours!
I am privileged beyond measure to be on this journey with our God!
In His Mighty Hand,
Dalinda
