Last night I was in bed reflecting on how God has truly been good to me. I couldn't utter any other words but "thank you, Lord". For many months and even years that I have been suffering, I've asked God many times if He had forgotten me already. I felt more like it was hell on earth and by that I meant "hellest" of hell if there's such a word. Yes, it was that bad. I even remembered telling God that death was such a welcome breeze, please come and take me now.
And now, I'm experiencing such favor and blessing I've never had any taste of before. And in spite of the mountains still in front of me, I have an unspeakable joy that I know came from God. I'm still waiting for my breakthrough to come. For some of you who have been with me in my life's journey know what I'm waiting for. I know in my heart, by faith, that my miracle is on its way. In the mean time, I'd like to savor the joy and peace God has given me. I'm really grateful. Thank you, Jesus.
