I woke up this morning to fresh snow falling and two inches of fluffy whiteness already on the ground. I opened up my devotional to read about an amazing woman holding onto her faith when she was in prison in China for bringing Bibles into the country. It reminded me of what an amazing God we have! No matter what trials we might be facing, He is always there with us. Even when we feel like we are all alone and there is no one who can understand our pain, He is holding our hand. It was such an encouragment to me after the long, difficult week that I have had. Our God is amazing! His love for us is never ending and it does not depend on anything that we do. All that is required of us is love and faith! How incredible is that?!?
Sometimes I slip into the thinking that I need to "do something" in order to "earn" my way into heaven. It is nothing that I can accomplish on my own. Only Jesus' work on the cross can bring me into everlasting life with my heavenly Father.
What a wonderful way to begin a beautiful day!
