I have been pondering a question from a friend of mine today. The question was, What would God have been if my test results had turned out bad instead of good? My answer was he would still be God. It has weighed on my mind for a while. Here it is: God is my strength when I am weak. He is also my temperance when I am strong. Though I want to be well and happy always in THIS segment of my life, this is simply not possible. Why? Because if life on earth as mortals was perfect, what would heaven be to look forward to? I am always giving God all credit for the good things that happen to me. and when I have a bad day, I have no doubt failed somewhere along the way to cause it. But even so, God lifts me out of the darkness. I have had a very traumatic year beginning with the loss of my Dad. Since then, I have lost at least a dozen other close friends too. Other things in life are just as challenging if not more. But then I remember that these people had a life that was a season too. God was there for them. He held their hand as they made the crossing. My dads too. I am still on this journey. Then I look at the many good things I have had too. These also come from Him. I try to remember that Job 5:18 is the truth For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. Thank you Savior for all of the good things in life. And thank you for the bad as well. You do it all in love.
