HE has given me grace to survive many hardships, and sense to gather wisdom from each. Also HE places children of HIS, old and young before me , giving them trust in me to expose their troubles, fears, problems, and pain. Therefore enabling me to share my trials and own pain and healing with them as comfort and witness of his glory , love, and presence. even when it may not seem like it. I thank you Father for your wisdom and strength, and I thank you Jesus for your comfort and humility. I know now I've never really been alone or truly in danger, only because I always knew to rely on love. that decision alone was my saving grace, that it is embedded in the fibers of my being. often causing ridicule and mocking from hardened hearts. I am glad and proud that even tho I hadn't yet recognized the source of this "flawed" way of thinking, you were there, patiently waiting for me to open my eyes, so I could find the peace that only you can give.i pray to grow in your love daily. and to be able to share that love with many others in JESUS name. AMEN
