How grateful I feel to be where I am in this life - to be on the earth at this great and terrible time! This is
an amazing time to be alive! It is a time of learning, growing, strengthening, purification, and sanctification. And none of these things would be possible without the Lord's atoning sacrifice, and without His love and tender mercies. In good times and bad, I can feel His presence in my life continually. The Lord knows I would be lost without Him, and when I submit to Him fully, He always meets me where I am and places me exactly where I need to be, to enable me to grow in areas that I need growth. I know my progression is never ending and I never want to fight His will for me. I've fought that fight too many times in the past, attempting to lead Him instead of allowing Him to lead me. During those battles, the lessons were sometimes brutal, but I learned, and I will continue to do so.
I never want to run ahead of the Lord, so now, I do my best to let Him lead. His intended destination for me is far greater and far more grand than my own, and I will follow Him, no matter what valleys His path leads me through, because I know I will never have to make the journey alone.
None of us will.
Happy Sabbath!
