some things

I know.

many things

I do not

after listening to the heart and testimony of a precious sister in Christ Sunday

I realize how very little

I know

of TRUE extended suffering or pain

I don’t know

what it’s like to wait until you’re forty to hear your father tell you for the first time “I love you”

I don’t know

what it’s like to be without shoes

I don’t know

how it feels to be told that I am not wanted

I don’t know

what it’s like to be beaten

I don’t know

what’s it’s like to be without

I don’t know

the distress of having to choose between my faith in my Savior or fellowship with family

I really don’t.

you may.?

those you look in the face each day may?

I don’t .

but

and

BELIEVE

with  ALL

of my HEART. SOUL and BEING

GOD DOES NOT WASTE an OUNCE of PAIN.

I BELIEVE

HE KNOWS what HE is doing!

He has a PURPOSE and a PLAN for you to share your ache with others

2 Corinthians 1:4  ^“He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

Pain is PAIN

and it’s level at the foot of the CROSS

my sweet sister in Christ also shared a quote from Martin Luther

“There are two days in my calendar:

This day and that Day.”

 

So today

I challenge you

to join me

in living

THIS DAY without regret

so on THAT day 

we can hear the Father say

“….Well done, thou good and faithful servant:”
