Found my way here at last, and it was well worth the effort :)<br /><br />Living the gospel isn't always fun moments of singing "Kumbaya" around a campfire - and I thanks God for that truth, because we weren't meant for the shallow, feel good end of the pool while we are here. Sometimes, we are going to need to be broken again - and I'm grateful He gives us the grace, and the ability, to do the next right thing.<br /><br />I'll be back :)Rick Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404888395748923673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803438520720402383.post-3376136625492880482013-05-24T13:49:11.647-07:002013-05-24T13:49:11.647-07:00Thanks Beth for your kinds word.

He can’t resist whose who humbly and honestly admit how desperately they need Him."<br /><br />I *know* this to be true, but it still seems so counter-intuitive! It's definitely one of those "higher things" of God. I'm thankful his thoughts are higher than mine, and that he DOES show his power in our weakness.

It's only in our humility that we can hear and see the voce and hand of God. <br /><br />I've had many falls after times of over abundant pride. Even now I'm in times of trouble and I ponder if losing the thorn would cause me to be less needy and humble before God... Funny how He can change our perspectives without changing the circumstances... That is nothing short of a miracle. Our Father is using your wise words and heart to do more than you know.
