A New Day

After a few days of gloom, darkness and dispair, a ray of Light entered my heart. For truly it is darkest before the dawn. The peace that surpasses all understanding has arrived and I can now say, "All is well." For a few days, I experienced the realization of my finite frail humanity, but from on high, a breeze of the eternal entered my being and began to refresh my dry soul.

Lessons learned...lean on the One who loves unconditionally; draw from the well that never runs dry; savour and embrace every circumstance wheither comfortable or not with an open heart knowing that experiences are precious and vital lessons to further one's journey. Finally, when all is said and done, let God be God and rest in Him. In the end all WILL be well.

Dark Day

This day is one to remember...another one of life's chapters end, but there seems to be no closure...at this time. The wounds of past have reopened and a numbness fills my being. I search the Truth found in His Word and hard words, like: "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us," pierce my heart. The words are easy to recite and some have learned them from childhood, but the meaning is awesome and now difficult to reach. How can I display perfect love? How can I forgive and move on? I cannot at this time and I fall far short. I know in my own strength, this is impossible; however, it is by grace I stand through faith and I shall overcome. So, this day as my hard heart softens in the hand of the Master, I am thankful for the love of a perfect Father who comforts those who mourn. Peace be with us all....

Something to Ponder...

"The contrast between God's way of doing things and our way is never more acute than in the area of human change and transformation. We focus on specific actions; God focuses on us. We work from the outside in; God works from the inside out. We try; God transforms" (R.J. Foster).
