“THAT WAS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED!”
That was me to my brother, Kevin, this morning. God is truly amazing how He brings trials into our lives, KNOWING they will end up being so good for us. I can’t get over Him:
“Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us. – Romans 5:3-4
Woohoo! Exactly what this SUFFERING did for your girl here. I was begging God to take it away from me, but, incredibly, now I’m THANKING Him. God is too much! He knows precisely what we need to be the people He would have us to be – MATURE, STRONG, NOT LACKING ANYTHING.
God has opened my eyes to such blessings. Not only do I feel more love and commitment to my kids and hubby, I feel this situation has brought me closer to my siblings. For example, my brother, almost always picks up my calls or calls me right back with some great advice or solution to any situation that comes up. I was bragging to his son yesterday about his wise dad. Again, he has taught me such crucial lessons such as patience, focusing on the positives of life and not the negatives, STANDING STRONG, enjoying life, and lately, about following God (not asking Him to follow us) and being His angels in the world.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” – Galatians 5:22-23
For this God who is doing so much for us, can we all be His angels in the world? The little crosses He may ask us to carry are nothing compared to the enormous blessings He sends our way on a moment by moment basis. (HUGE SMILE)
