Coming Like A Child...

I read this by Joni Eareckson Tada recently and thought it might encourage those who are tired and weary...if you don't know her story please do your research and get to know this woman! She's been a quadriplegic for 40+ years now and every day is a struggle even to breathe. Yet...without complaint through weariness and great suffering she carries on in praise to her Savior! I love this quote from her.

God, Like a father doesn't just give advice. He gives himself. He becomes the husband to the grieving widow (Isaiah 54:5). He becomes the comforter to the barren woman (Isaiah 54:1). He becomes the father to the orphaned (Psalm 10:14). He becomes the bridegroom to the single person (Isaiah 62:5). He is the healer to the sick (Exodus 15:26). He is the wonderful counselor to the confused and depressed (Isaiah 9:6).

I encourage you to cover yourself with scripture when life becomes difficult and navigation may seem confusing. We can look to others both in this world and scripture to be examples of righteous living...and on an even higher level...to the one who gives us the very breath we breathe. Write out scriptures, carry them with you, post them and make them the very essence of your day! It works!!
