When your trial comes, then, put it right into the will of God,
and climb into that will as a little child climbs into it's mother's arms.
- Hannah Whitall Smith -
What do we do with the questions that seem to have no answers?
How do we explain something that makes no sense at all?
Where do we turn for help?
Trials come, and yes, they hurt.
They cause stress and concern.
It helps to know that none of those trials have crept in unnoticed by God.
Not one happens outside of his will.
That's a difficult truth for us to understand.
But as a child trusts her mom to comfort her when life hurts,
so God calls us into his loving arms.
God lovingly ordains all things for our good, the blessings, and the burdens.
Each trial is designed by Him to develop the image of His Son in us.
In our sufferings, He draws us closer to Him.
As Hannah Whitall Smith writes, put your trial
"right into the will of God."
Draw close.
You'll find comfort in his embrace.
Thank you Lord, that I can run to you in the midst of trials and disappointments,
temptations and sorrows ... when my heart is aching and when I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I'm learning to live moment by moment with a grateful heart!
You are good,
You are good,
You're so good to me!
We're going through a difficult family situation right now,
but God has never failed us through any of our trials, nor will He ever!
Please pray for peace in the midst ... thank you all!
Hugs,
