Much better now

I’m beginning to feel much better now. I’m starting to be able to look back on this year of ‘h-e-double hockey sticks’ and see God there. So here’s my profound thought on all of this:
God loves us so much, He will allow us to go through incredible amounts of stress and heartache in order to set us free from the things that hinder us. Even though it hurts and we’re crying out for it to stop, God is patient enough to see us through the process knowing it will make us more whole on the other side. Refining – it’s painful during the process, but the end result is pure gold. I want the gold, God, no matter what the cost!
