Reading my previous post makes me want to cry in realizing the Lord comforting and strengthening me last night to bear my pain. Truly the Lord helps me with a power beyond my own. Surely, he is love.

Sometimes, most of the time, I don’t understand but in his loving kindness he blesses me. In the case of last night I needed to endure the pain to then, today, see being blessed by his power. All I can say is that my heart is full of wonder, thanks, love, gratitude and joy.

For, behold, I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10
