How does God deal with your bitter heart? He reminds you that what you have is more important than what you don't have. You still have your relationship with God. No one can take that.

I choose faithfulness...Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my children will never fear that they father will not come home.

If relationships matter most then [at the end of our lives], shouldn't they matter most now?

The great promise of Scripture is that every day is a day that's worth rejoicing in.

Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love.

What I may intend for a story to communicate and what a story ends up communicating could be two different things. And it could be an even more positive thing.

A season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward. Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God.
