day 23: step 2

"which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me."

I know what suffering is. I rarely know why.

and I get so stuck on figuring out the why that I miss what comes after, what comes through suffering:

relief, rescue, joy, refinement, morning, redemption.

stop giving into the quicksand and start running through it.

God, let this heart rejoice for You are good.

God, let this heart be thankful for You are good.

suffering comes and goes but the joy of the Lord is everlasting. there is no season for joy, there is only a lifetime. hop in the current.
