 Even in the midst of trials and pain, 

God, whose heart is kind beyond all measure

REPOST: ODB.ORG from March 17 2015: Unwelcome visitors

James wrote, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work" (James 1:2-4).

We are not expected to enjoy trials or to celebrate suffering. But when these unwelcome visitors arrive, we can look for God's hand in them and trust that He can use them to make us more like His Son. —Bill Crowder

Thank You, Father, that You give to us each day what You know is best. We're thankful that we can trust Your heart, which is kind beyond all measure.

Trials may visit us, but our God is always with us.

God let your face shine

Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved! Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved! Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! Psalm 80:3, 7, 19

God, let your face shine on us.   God let your goodness, mercy, joy, love  and blessed kindness wash over us.   God, restore us to yourself and your loving presence.   God of hosts, lover and giver of life bless us, our loved ones, and  all your people to be saved.
