"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
Karen sent us this verse in a text, just after I was released from hospital. These words bring tears to my eyes today as I think about the truth in them. As tough as this last week has been, I am reminded of WHY we came and WHO we're serving and the fact that HE will in fact, restore us and guide us for the journey ahead. Its amazing how hazy things can get when life feels overwhelming. :)
I just feel really thankful for the promises in the Word today and hope that maybe these words will be an encouragement to some of you out there in bloggerland. Not sure where YOU'RE at, but rest assured, you have a loving, heavenly Father who will reach out his hand and save you, even when it feels impossible.
Thank-you Lord, for your grace and understanding heart.

That is very neat. I just came across that verse last week and it has encouraged me in yearning for a heart that is steadfast and trusts in God. So thankful that I don't have to make my heart steadfast...God does it!! My prayer has become, "Lord make me strong, firm and steadfast." Love that it encouraged you too. Love you guys.
