i'm constantly reminding myself that all things have a purpose. that even though we might find ourselves in life situations that cause us pain and loneliness, or leave us with a bruised heart, it will eventually be okay. though this is the truth, it's so surface level. it's one of those things you tell people to make them feel better, but it never really makes them feel better. so rather than looking at current situations as something that will pass, maybe i should look at them as something to embrace.
why embrace something you don't like... don't want... didn't ask for?
because sometimes, even when you don't realize it at first, god has given you a gift. i believe it is possible to look at things from a different perspective and find the blessing instead of the bitterness during the trials of this life.
god is patient with me; i will not keep him waiting
god is kind to me; i will express my gratitude daily
god does not envy; he knows that i am only his no matter how far i stray
god does not boast; his will is carried out no matter what
god is not proud; i will humble myself in him
god is not rude; he loves me wholeheartedly
god is not self seeking; he has my best interest in mind at all times
god is not easily angered; he knows i am not perfect but loves me just the same
god keeps no record of wrongs; he doesn't only forgive my sins, he completely forgets them
...god never fails me.
