~A Thought On My Heart

Today I would like to share something that has been on my heart.  In life sometimes it seems as if it is one hardship after another.  There are those who let life's storms make them bitter and steel their peace long term, and those who trust in Jesus and quickly gain their peace back shortly after each of life's storms.  When we keep in the front of our minds that God will use all things for good for those who love the lord, it helps us to keep an eternal mindset all the while knowing that this life is only a drop of water in the ocean of eternity.  

One of the ways that our spirits can grow and become more Christ like is by walking through fire.  When we place our trust in Jesus and look to Him for help and comfort, then we grow in our trust for Him, and gain peace even in the mist of a hardship.

There are days I wonder when life will stop throwing curve balls our way, but I surrender my days to the Lord and trust that he will not only get us through the hardship, but also he will help my spirit to become more gentle and humble and to draw close to the Lord.

So today if the weight of the world hangs heavy on your shoulders, please remember to keep the eternal big picture in mind and put your trust in the Lord.  When things happen that hurt our hearts, it should all the more make us want to share God's love to those around us and strive to do His holy will during the time we have on our Earthly journey.

I hope you are finding some time for some cozy activities that can add beauty in your days.  I want to thank you for stopping by my little blog.  May God bless you and keep you in His loving care.  Hugs to you.  ~Juli
