Filled with joy one day, grief stricken the next, hopeful in one moment and anxious the next....celebrating, grieving, planning it all out and then seeing it all crumble right before our eyes -- the days of our lives. I know now more than ever that the difference in everyone's lives is not whether life is fair or our circumstances are better or worse- the difference is whether we trust God. He has made the promises, He has given us the roadmap and our every day lives are going to continue around us .. the good, the bad, the happy times and hurting times.
I read alot of blogs, I write my own blog and today I felt moved to write a praise blog for God!
I have 2 friends who have been broken and hurt and beat up by life. Their circumstances were difficult, unfair and seemingly without a great outlook for the future. They were without hope, filled with fear, anxious and yes.. .lost! They both lived in a dark place -- and tried to hide from the harshness this life had dealt them. This past week, I had the great joy to hear from both of these friends their joyful testimony that they are on the other side of the hurt, they are hopful, they are thankful, they are humbled...... both of these friends have claimed their victory in the name of Jesus! Out of the darkness .. into the light of Jesus. They triumphed when they gave their pain and emptiness to the One who saves!! Praise you Jesus for healing and for giving strength when we need it. You are the ultimate counselor and provider.
We can't understand our trials and circumstances when we are in the midst of our wordly situations - but we can turn to the TRUTH in our lives. You are constant, You are unchanging. You are soverign!
