Take time to remember the good things that have happened in life and also to see where the difficult times have led you. It is amazing how what has happened in the past prepares us for the future. Jim, my husband has gone through some difficult health challenges during the past two years. My greatest prayer has been, "LORD, make me strong and keep me strong to take care of him and fulfill my purpose. He is doing that. It takes time with Him to allow the blessings to download into me, but the time is well spent. I have written three books which have a connection with life experiences. The theme running through each is to prepare for the things we are afraid of and will take the fear out of the future. They may never happen and time will have been spent worrying for nothing. I refuse to let anxiety and worry over things that have not happened rob me of the peace that GOD has provided for me. Whatever comes at us, if we take it to Him in praise and thanksgiving with anticipation and acknowledgement that His words and promises are true, we are in a win, win situation.
Pain can draw us into a closer relationship with Him, if we choose to let it. We may have to work at finding time for that place of blessed peace, but it is there. He is waiting for us to make time to spend with Him...5 to 10 minutes a day at first will get us in touch in a greater way. So many times we run to Him, fling a request at Him and run out again before we have had a one on one exchange. Take time to connect. Blessings to all in this Holy Season of Christmas.
