This was really, really beautiful. In my own life, I've been able to see every point you made come true. Just this fall, I've learned to seriously rejoice in my struggle! Before I just said I rejoiced in my struggle, so that someday, I might believe it. And I can now rejoice in this, and know that there is a reason! Also this year, I walked out of a trial and I can see now very clearly what God was doing! Its pushed me to trust Him with this trial, and it. is. good.
ReplyDeleteThis was a beautiful post. God is good, isn't He? The past six years of my life have had their fill of trials through a horrible family car accident, the death of a friend, and the passing of my nana. And yet... Witnessing his faithfulness and goodness have blessed me more than I can even say.
