Not much time to post...but had to share this. What an encouragement and a great reminder of the Lord's love for His children. Hope you find encouragement in this today no matter what circumstances you find yourself in.
"Every single thing that happens to us expresses God's love to us, and comes to us for the furthering of God's purpose for us. Thus, so far as we are concerned, God is love to us--holy, omnipotent love--at every moment and in every event in every day's life. Even when we cannot see the why and the wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always, even when, humanly speaking, things are going wrong. We know that the true story of our life, when known, will prove to be, as the hymn says, "mercy from first to last"--and we are content."

I read this somewhere else recently and SO needed to hear that...funny how I needed it again today! Maybe I should just put it beside my bed and read it before getting up in the morning! :)
