You see flowers in these weeds

[desirerofhesed]

God has been so present and LOUD today (well, all week actually). I've been hurting so bad and been so sick the last couple weeks. I keep asking when it was I let this disease steal my joy and start winning. When did I give up hope? Not sure exactly (though I have some ideas). However, this week has been one of many discussions and many messages from Him through family, friends, books, and music. It's nice to be reminded that the source of my joy and strength is Him alone. No matter how dark the valley, I am not walking alone, and the more broken I am, the more He can shine through my life. I would not have ever survived to this point without Him, and He continually amazes me with His perfect love and grace.

Lord, search my heart,
create in me something clean.
