In the eye of a Storm
I was looking through this book from one of the best christian authors around and he related a journey that all of us would be familiar with. When we are faced with storms in our lives, how are we dealing with it?
This was a small part of what it had to say:
"For some of you, the journey has been long. Very long and stormy. In no way do I wish to minimize the difficulties you have to face along the way. Some of you have shouldered burdens which few of us could have ever carry. You have bid farewell to life long partners. You have been robbed of life long dreams. You have been given bodies that can't sustain your spirit. You have spouses who can't tolerate your faith. You have bills that outnumbered your paychecks and challenges that outweigh the strength. "
And this is what really encourages me as it goes on to say:
"It is worth it."
"Yesterday's challenges were lost in today's joy."
"Even Paul never said that the journey would be easy but the arrival to the end of it would be worthwhile."
So remember this:
"God may not do what you want, but He will do what is right...... and best. He is the Father of forward motion. Trust Him and He will get you home. And the trials of the trips will be lost in the joys of the feast. "
