I just wanted to share this with the group as I shared with another group... Be encouraged! :) I had been really, really sick these past couple weeks, more than I have ever been and I could barely get out of the bed for the first week. When I tried to swallow it felt like someone was scratching up my throat, when I tried to stand I had no energy, I had to lay down. I mean I was down and out and am just getting better but as I laid in pain I began to praise God. I know it sounds funny and a bit odd to some but as I laid in pain, I began thanking and praising God for life, for breath, for the ability to think and although slow and painfully, move my limbs. I got excited...I was in pain but excited and I was thanking him just because of who he is and what he means to me and I could feel his spirit assuring and comforting me. Did I miraculously get well? Of course not...I needed medicine, fluids and much, much rest. But heres what I realized....The joy of the Lord IS really your strength. Its your comfort and its beautiful. So heres the thing-no matter what is going on in your life....no matter what the situation looks or even feels like-praise your way through it. Honor, worship, acknowledge and PRAISE him because God through Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost is ALWAYS with us...even in the most hurtful, painful moments in our lives. Dont give up or give in. Dont allow your circumstance to dictate your outlook and praise. Keep in mind that as long as there is breath in your body, there is hope and as long as there is hope- change, progression, healing, deliverance, salvation and better is attainable. Love and blessings!
