Love above all

I just want to testify to God's faithfulness and greatness. He molds us and uses difficult situations in order to make us more like him and to help us understand him more. I'm not saying this because I read it, but because I have experienced it first hand. He is awesome and his ways sometimes seem out there to me, but what do I know? "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could ever imagine." (Isaiah 55:8) Thank Goodness!!! Doesn't that make life exciting! Aren't you glad we aren't confined to what we can imagine and dream up. He has so much more for us than what we want, think we need, or expect. Sometimes we humans can be such pessimists. We think we will be stuck in our problems and struggles forever. When we remain faithful through our struggles, that is when we learn, we grow, we gain his vision to make it in this world, and he does amazing things in our lives. This life is an adventure and God doesn't want us to miss a thing. When things aren't going well in life, we've got to remember that God is Faithful and if he can bless us even after our many failures and sins, why can't we be faithful when things don't go exactly as we would like? Are you living your life to the fullest with God? Are you trusting him when things don't make sense? It's not easy but it's what we are called to do and the reward is so great. Don't give up, keep on keepen on and ask for help when you need it. God keeps his promises!
