Deuteronomy 8:2 (GW) Remember that for 40 years the Lord your God led you on your journey in the desert. He did this in order to humble you and TEST YOU!. He wanted to know whether or not you would wholeheartedly obey his commands.
Seize the joy, it's an intentional attempt to take joy where God had presented it, and it's in all situations, God's inexhaustible redemption plan is ALWAYS!!! at work in our lives. Glory to Jesus.
Acceptance is the road to salvation can we all just admit we have wounds that go deep down, hurts we truly haven't healed from, lets all heal together through the help of Jesus Christ.
