The difference between bitter and better is I.

God's Word really carries me every day.

God's love is bigger than our failures and stronger than any chains that bind us.

Loving fathers give their children guidance on how to deal with all the hard things in life.

Not only is it mind-blowing that God would consider me - us - worthy of his love, but it's flat-out incomprehensible that God would give us his wisdom, compassion, guidance, and comfort by giving us his Word. It's totally humbling and such an honor. Thank you Lord!

God's Word does provide life lessons to teach us how to live. And it gives us beautiful poetry that gives voice to our human experience. And, yes, it does give us clear boundaries of what we should and shouldn't do so we can live our best lives.

I'm 52 years old and blindness has been the single hardest thing I deal with every minute of every day.
