We do have only One who loves us perfectly and heals our broken hearts. Thanks, Jedidja. Bless you for your unfailing support and encouragement.

That wonderful verse from Joel was spoken powerfully into my life several years ago and I am still holding on to the promise to come true...one day! Looking forward to looking back in wonder too.

It must have been so hard to put that down and press the 'publish' button. I found it both moving and inspiring. Isn't it wonderful to know that there's no part of our lives that surprises Him, no part that He can't work with and turn into something beautiful. <br /><br />It made me think of this verse:<br /><br />Joel 2:25 'I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten...' <br /><br />The view looking back on this will be amazing, I think. <br /><br />Bless you. <br />Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559604728716256864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-79173098143693779082013-01-24T11:20:56.341-08:002013-01-24T11:20:56.341-08:00Beautiful words.

Over the last few years I have begun to learn that if we give Him our pain and sadness He will use them to His glory.
