As I age, you would think I would have got it by now. At 67, I am just beginning to see the awesomeness of God. I have gone through many phases of my walk with God. And the great news is it is never too late. I love life, and life can suck. When we are in deep sorrow, we feel it is over. That is a lie from the pit. Growing in Christ is refining. Like a diamond that goes through intense pressure, our walk is going through intense pressure to be refined to do many awesome things to do his will. I look forward to 40 more years of life. I am excited. Now, things are rotten right now. But dear one, if you are crushed right now, I want you to know that as we go through and trust him, he will show you hang in there. For God promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
