Just Thinking
This may be a boring post for most people to read, I apologize in advance. I have been thinking about how completely blessed I have been in my life, especially in the last few years. I admit I have had a lot of anger lately because things haven't gone the way I want them to. I have been doubting my love of God and his power in my life. The last few years I have felt and endured more pain than I thought was humanly possible. For some reason, I tried to convince myself that the unfortunate things in my life reflected the amount of love god has for me. Having a positive attitude is a huge effort i take on almost everyday. i had the strongest feeling today that all these negative thoughts in my head are LIES. There is nothing good that comes from it. It is something Satan is using to make me doubt the truth. The truth is that no matter what negative things have gone on in my life, God loves me and he wants so desperately for me to be happy. He has blessed me with amazing children who love me and give me a reason to do better. He has blessed me with the most loving, wonderful, patient husband who wants me to heal and to be happy. He has brought people into my life to support me and to help me grow and be stronger. He must really love me to bless me with all these wonderful things! And that is the most wonderful TRUTH of all!

Wow. Stacey, you amaze me. Wow.
My love is poured out for you now. Thank you for so vulnerably sharing these most significant feelings, as well as the evidence of pure revelation from God with which you were endowed.
Yes, indeed. God loves you so very much. At last, at this tender time in your life, you have discovered for yourself that it is also THROUGH our own personal Gethsemanes that the Love of God is felt and received.
I am reminded of one of my favorite scriptures:
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)
May you continue to comprehend this Love . . . and be ever so willing to accept it. And may you REMEMBER this profound experience when other dark days come your way. For, as did the Jaredites in their barges that relied solely upon the winds and the waves to carry them through to the Promised Land, your remembrances will carry you safely to all things lovely, and praiseworthy, and of the highest worth.
