Everyday is a blessing! Sure it is. :-) But blessings come in so many ways.
When we are confronted with good things and great events happen in our lives, we always exclaim with glee that we are indeed blessed! And true enough, we are blessed! But in times of sorrow, can we say that we are still blessed?
There are moments in our lives that we experience darkness, sorrows, pain...and the ache is sometimes so great that we wish we die. It is as if God suddenly abandoned us...Our human nature suddenly floods us and like Christ, we exclaim "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" It seems that God is nowhere to be found. But always remember that God is always there for us. That He will never leave us...And that He is always there in every moment of our lives. He will never forget us. "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me." (Isaiah 49:15-16)
Yes, indeed, we are so much blessed in the midst of everything! Even in times of trials. Because surely, God is just testing us! He knows what is best for us and He may even has a better plan. so when you are tested, always remember this verse: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." (James 1:2-3)
So when you have problems...when you are being tried, BE JOYFUL FOR YOU ARE INDEED BLESSED!!!
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever."
(1 Corinthians 29:13)
