Often times
it's so hard to see anything clearly,
to see anything except the darkest parts of the
storm around me.
Every moment can be a battle;
a battle to be waged against that darkest part of the storm
not allowing it to settle in is sometimes impossible
the real goal is to see the beauty in the darkness,
the intricacy and the good that the storm can bring...
You sometimes have to look hard
to look beyond the bigger picture...
look closer and closer until you see it:
FIGHT to look closer...
My encouragement to those of you who are also suffering
keep looking, this flower is beautiful, the raindrop is pretty...
but look EVEN closer:
Because in life's storms...
The love of God ALWAYS shines through
He takes the wickedness of this world,
the suffering of this world
the pain,
the sorrow
the tragedy
the darkness
and...
He creates beauty in it
His love, and His glory shine through it
He teaches us bit by bit to become a reflection of HIM
So take heart, no matter what type of sorrow you find yourself in
God is in the storm
and beauty and His light will shine through in the end...
Be encouraged here:
Beautiful! And exactly what I needed to read... Thank you!
