Has someone hurt you deeply and

you can't seem to go on?

Has trauma caused deep pain with scars

that do not seem to heal?

Have you given it to Jesus and given it again?

There's a reason for this season of suffering my friend.

It can take you to amazing heights

of character and growth,

while bringing out the very best in talents and skills.

Suffering lets you know the world can be

a messy place to live 

and that people simply need love and

forgiveness every day.

We are called to love beyond... to foucs on the Lord

knowing that the things that he permits are working for our good.

Understanding there are reasons people act the way they do...

Oh, the freedom of forgiveness we must choose to share each day.

The faithful sun that shines each day

and moon and stars by night.

The galaxies without end hold secrets for life! 

We are on an endless journey full of endless love to share... it's Christ's patience and forgiveness with people everywhere.
