Rising to New Heights

The ways in which God leads are strange at times, but I am always amazed at where they take me. My impossible becomes God's possible. My failures become His victories. God can use anything to accomplish His purpose! I have come to be thankful for the trials that come my way. I learn so much from them, even though they are not pleasant. The better perspective I get on life, the more I realize how small my problems and worries are in the big picture. God's plan is so much bigger and infinitely better than mine! When I think my problems are too hard, I am reminded we only have a short time on this earth. Now is the time we have to show a hurting world God cares...God is different! Every day, things we take for granted may become tokens of His love for us. The sunshine that warms us, the wind that surrounds us, the rain that renews life, the flowers that are so beautiful...all are daily signs of His love. And while we yearn to be with Him all the more, we can be thankful for the opportunity He's giving us to live out His life, His love, His character. It's such a gift! I cannot begin to describe the blessings I have been given by following God's voice in my life...they are so wonderful I cannot explain them in words.
