sometime last year i was going through a rough time, struggling with something. i don't remember what it was but a dear friend, a true example of Christianity, surprised me with a beautiful card. i saved it and found it the other day. the words brought tears to me eyes:
If i could sum up
what's on my heart for you
during this crazy time,
it would be one word-
hope.
what you're going through
is really hard and
out of your control-
out of anyone's control-
that is... anyone but God.
He is the author of HOPE,
the giver of HOPE,
and will bring you
the power of HOPE
to help you hang on
and keep believing
that He can change things
for the good.
I want you to know
i'm hanging on to HIS HOPE
and will be here praying for you-
as long as it takes
by His mighty power at work within us,
He is able to accomplish infinitely more
than we would dare to ask or hope.
Ephesians 3:20 NLT
i read just the other day that "the problem isn't the problem, the way you react tp the problem is often the problem"
it was such a simple yet profound statement, i wanted to argue with it but every example i could come up with could be explained away. no matter what we're going through, no matter what heartache we're dealing with, we can turn it into happiness with HOPE! think about it! nothing we experience hasn't been experienced before and nothing we experience can't be overcome with the the help of the Lord. this is such a beautiful realization to me!!!
