I know many of you are suffering right now. Maybe a loved on is sick or has passed, maybe financial worries have you down. Maybe there is turmoil in the family. Whatever the burden you are currently carrying, may you find peace in God's arms.
I recently read this poem in a book called "The upside of Down" by Joseph Stowell and felt the words had so much meaning. I wanted to share it with you all. Remember, God has a plan for you and everything happens for a reason, even if we do not always understand it. Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Years. Marsha Thank you Lord for choosing me To view your pain at Calvary your tearstained paths of grief you share with me these days because you care Thank you for the time I cried within the garden by your side, "if it be possible for thee, please, God, this cup remove from me. Thank you too, for the burdens I bear for the loneliness, and for the despair. For beneath this cross, and on this road I feel, in part, your heavy load. Thank you for the desperate plea, "God why hast thou forsaken me?" "because" you answer tenderly, "I have a special plan for thee" Thank you for the hope you've given, for the truth that you have risen. I, too, from suffering shall rise as I fulfill your plan so wise. Thank you, Lord, for letting me say "by grace I've suffered in your way." And may I nevermore depart >From this, the center of your heart. Martha Baldock Fellure Do not tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is.
