Thankful Thursday

Today is a special day. And I'd like to share with y'all the message I got from my devotional readings this morning.  It has encouraged me and I hope you will be too.

Dear Soul, you may have to experience the very worst before you are delivered, but you will be delivered!  God may keep you waiting, but He will always remember His promise and will appear in time to fulfill His sacred Word that cannot be broken.

It is always safe to trust God's methods and to live by His clock.

Difficulty is actually the atmosphere surrounding a miracle, or a miracle in its initial stage.  Yet if it is to be a great miracle, the surrounding condition will be not simply a difficulty but an utter impossibility.  And it is the clinging hand of Hi child that makes a desperate situation a delight to God.

Lord, thank you for adding another year in my life.  I have gone from worst to so much better physically, emotionally, mentally, financially and spiritually.  You have always been there for me.  Thank you, Lord, for preparing me to go from so much better to blissful --- walking in my "promised land." As I celebrate my birthday today, I'm looking forward to more exciting surprises you have in stored for me.  I love you, Lord!

What are you thankful for this week?
