You know when you’ve been through trials when you flip through your bible and find wrinkles in the pages from old tears. I love this because the tears bring me back to that exact moment. Now you’re probably thinking why would anyone want to remember hard times? Yes these were tears during a difficult time, but they were tears as a result of joy, peace, grace, and comfort from Jesus my savior. It happens when despair and anxiety are so overwhelming that there is nothing to do but go to God’s word. It’s in this moment that while reading the scripture I come across a passage that is so unmistakably my Father speaking to me the tears are impossible to hold back. It’s so awesome to come across those pages and see how God not only comforted me, but delivered and made me stronger in Him.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. -psalm 33:18
