God gives grace every day. His peace comes and comforts. I had a chance to share with someone some of the grief I've experienced and was able to see God's grace and peace in the situations. I am always amazed at how clear things seem as I reflect back on them. However, things are rather muddled when I'm going through them.
This past week, Glen was finishing his two year preaching on the book of John. One of the points in the message is that a life worth living is a difficult life. We all go through difficult times; yet these are the times that mold us more like Christ. It refines us so that we reflect the Lord. I am thankful for the life God has given me. It can sometimes be calm and quiet (lately it hasn't) or it can be noisy and rambunctious (that's what today was).
I am thankful for a God who loves me even when I whine and complain about how hard life is. I am thankful for a God who guides me through those times and gives me just enough light to see the step I'm on.
