JOY

I LOVE that God uses our pains for truth! Did you ever notice that when God turns around our situations, and uses them for the good of helping others, we aren't usually helping them avoid those struggles rather we are helping them find hope amidst their storm. Everyone has to come to their own truths in God's time. I am humbled that I can be used to spur that on.....and I am sooo greatly thankful for the ones that have spurred me on too. We can share in each others sufferings and then we get to share in the resulted JOY that comes after the storm:)


It's the overflow, of a forgiven soul. And now we see you, God. Our hearts cannot stay silent! ~matt redman
