God has never promised a charter of exemption from trouble but he hath promised “to be with us in trouble.” Better be in prison with God's presences and God’s promises then to be on a throne without them.

God had one Son without sin, but no son without stripes. God puts his children to school at the cross, and there they learn best. God's children sing most sweetly when God hedgth up their way with thorns,(Thomas Watson)

Was reading some devotional thoughts written by a brother who lived some time ago and just felt so encouraged by them that I thought I would share here with you. What an awesome and amazing GOD we have who loves us all so dearly, so completely that HE takes the time to demonstrate that love to us daily in so many differing ways!!


God bless
