It is often said that we as individuals do not grasp the importance of sacrifice, unless we are the ones making that sacrifice. By sacrifice we are made to understand the true value of our blessings. The theory of easy come easy go only gives rise to waste and discontent. The true character of an individual can best be seen when they are forced to do without. There is nothing more revealing and endearing than seeing someone that has been devastated by this evil world thanking God for His divine providence. How can we be thankful for hardship? Knowing that God is in the storm as well as the sunshine gives us evidence that He will be with us through it all. It has often been said that we should look for the brighter side of circumstances and I am sure that if we do we will see the image of God. The more that we dwell upon the goodness of God and His promises, the more we will see that He is doing as He has promised. GLH www.myownmelodyllc.com
