Anger seemed overwhelming.
Sadness seemed to reign.
Fear lurked during every hour.
Defeat was closing in.
Regret was a constant reminder of what 'could have' happened.
Yet, LOVE was always there.
Even though this week has been hard, I have felt the endless amounts of love, and have been able to give and show the same kind of love that I have been getting. Undeserved, unending, love.
Love.
I have never been the kind of person that can find joy easily. During this week, I have somehow felt the amazing peace of God and have been able to find joy pretty much all the time.
That is God.
That amazing peace that I have felt during this entire week of anger, sadness, fear, defeat, and regret, was God's amazing LOVE.
God's love is always bigger than anything you might be dealing with.
His love offers you peace, comfort, purpose in the pain, reassurance, and encouragement to keep going...
I have truly felt God's love this week. Instead of being caught up in this trial, I have been able to find joy through God's amazing, unending, and undeserved love.
He has given me the courage to talk to the right people about it. He has given the words I need to say during this situation. He has given others the right words to tell me when I needed them most.
That is my God.
Though this trial isn't over yet, I have a peace. A peace that I wouldn't have if I didn't know that God has a purpose in all this pain. A peace of knowing that God is control... And, a peace that it will be okay.
God is amazing. His love is unending.
You can never do something so bad that God won't love you less. That's what we call, undeserved grace.
None of us deserve it, but yet God offers it. He offers us the free gift of salvation. Freedom from sin and freedom from death.
God's love is always there for you...
