The Path to Blessing
“To him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon because he hath wholly followed the Lord” (Deut. 1:36).
Every hard duty that lies in your path, that you would rather not do, that it will cost you pain and struggle or sore effort to do, has a blessing in it. Not to do it, at whatever cost, is to miss the blessing.
Every hard piece of road on which you see the Master’s shoe-prints and along which He bids you follow Him, surely leads to blessing, which you cannot get if you cannot go over the steep, thorny path.
Every point of battle to which you come, where you must draw your sword and fight the enemy, has a possible victory which will prove a rich blessing to your life. Every heavy load that you are called to lift hides in itself some strange secret of strength.

spring cleaning…
re-discovering clothes i forgot i even had.
i’m always amazed when i dig through my closet. it’s a huge testament as to how blessed i’ve been in my life and a huge reminder to not take that for granted.
when i look at my life now and how i was a few years ago, it shows me just how much i’ve grown as an individual. i definitely used to be a shopaholic and clothes used to define me. now, all that has changed. it’s a good thing! i do still appreciate well made garments but when it comes down to it, all these clothes, bags, jewelry, etc. are nothing to me— it’s all so meaningless!
joy comes from the simplest of things and i’m constantly amazed at the process of refinement.
“Even in God’s wrath, His great love can’t be missed.”
May we, your people, have a great understanding of this. <3
