Thought for the day

I kind of regret that I have not kept up with my blog lately. But I have often found it difficult to express in words what all God has been doing in my life.

My thought for today, is to remind myself that so often the world places emphasis that God can only, and is only glorified through healing. But God is also glorified through suffering. And for healing to take place, suffering must also occur. There are people that I see each and every day, their bodies ravaged with disease, and people who I meet every day who have such devastatingly broken life stories filled with tragedy. I may never understand the whys. And if I chose to, I could focus on the fact that I don't understand the whys. But God is a great God who loves the people whom he has created. He is a just God, but also a merciful God who has a greater plan that we may not understand or see.

Satan is good at the fight, and it may seem at times that he has won a battle but God has already won the war.
