Tearfully, as I reflect over the last 6-7 years, despite my periods of disobedience, God continues to keep His promises to me. In chapter 33 of the book of Jeremiah He tells us “Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, For the Lord is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting;and of those who bring a thank offering into the house of the Lord. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were at first".
God continuously shows His lovingkindness in restoring all that I lost physically, mentally, and spiritually shortly after my divorce. I recognize that material things are not important as His love, the love of family and friends and peace of mind. I have learned the difference between pure joy and happiness. Joy comes from a relationship with God that gives you peace even in the midst of the storm. Happiness is based upon circumstances, individuals, and things around you which are fleeting. Thankfully, the joy of the Lord is my strength as I see physical and spiritual restoration in my life, I know the world didn't give it and the world can't take it away!
Never forget as I encourage you, I cannot help but encourage myself! Be blessed! -rfwb
