Encouraging word:
This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:10 NLT
When you're walking up a hill, you know that there will be a downward slope soon...and things will be easier. But, you can't see the other side. All you see are the miles of uphill climb ahead...and you get discouraged...and that's just human nature.
Lately, I've been realizing that I get so worried about the climb that I never stop to think about the downward slope at all. It seems impossible to me that that part of the hill could be easy and stress free because I'm so wrapped up in my current condition.
Every difficult experience in my life thus far has been a lesson in faith. I can pinpoint the exact moment when I became a faithless person. But, God...who is always faithful...has never allowed me to stay in that faithless stuper. He has had the grace to show me time and time again that faith is an essential part of life because without it, there is no hope.
So, as I climb up this hill...I will focus my eyes on the only thing that I can see from where I stand...God's love and faithfulness. ;)

hai susee,
GOD IS ALWAYS GREAT. PRAISE THE LORD. I HAVE BEEN SAVED SEVERAL TIMES - WHEN I HIT A PERSON IN U.A.E IF THE PERSON DIES ITS A CRime,god saved me by just giving him bruises only. i hit him from behind with my car he raised to sky and fell down oh god it is nightmare but miraculosly he saved me. now i'm finding difficult to understand people who are behind me to change to one particular christian community which i really don't want to. as we all should understand everybodys feelings. let them live on their own.
