We often view life as a journey, we talk of seasons that come and go, some bringing joy and others bringing pain. We can view our lives as if writing a book, considering each season as a different chapter to add to what is the unfolding novel of our lives. My life has many chapters, my happy childhood growing up in a loving household, the teenage years making new friends and acquiring qualifications, becoming independant, pursuing a career, working, meeting and falling in love with my husband, getting married, enjoying establishing a home together, seeing our three children born, moving house 3 times, moving to a new area - leaving old friends, making new friends. Some chapters include the pain and grief of losing precious friends, facing traumatic circumstances, coping with serious illness and physical pain, and watching loved ones face the final chapter of their lives.....reaching their eternal destiny. But throughout all these different chapters/seasons there is one thing that remains constant, that enables me to keep going through the tough bits, and that is the constant prescence of a loving heavenly Father who has never let me go, or left me, who always loves me, who sends his spirit to comfort me, who upholds me with his righteous right hand, and who'll be there cheering me on all the way to the finish line when I will meet him face to face.
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him" James 1:12
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him" 1Corinthians 2:8
