Whenever we curse our struggles and conflicts, we inevitably squander opportunities to bring glory to God, serve others, and grow to be more like Christ. But when we respond to God's grace by consecrating our difficulties to Him, there is no limit to the good that can be accomplished, even when that good seems far away at the time.
Ken Sande
I came across this quote today. It used to be my signature for all of my emails, but was at some point replaced with another quote that "spoke" to me at that point of my life. But after reading this one again, this has brought home to me that my number one goal in life is to bring glory to God, serve others, and grow to be more like Christ. If I don't live this, all else falls apart, and has fallen apart. But I am in a different season now. I can see the forest for all of its trees, and I know that there is an "other" side to the grief, despair and valleys of suffering. God gave me my life verse this past month, and it was a sweet message, with a great promise:
"I would have lost heart, if I had not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Psalms 27:13
God is right here, wherever we are, at all times!
