Joy is on its way...

Tonight's Blog is going to be short, to the point but hopefully very sweet and inspiring.

Pamela McQuade, a beautiful Spiritualist and Author so eloquently states in one of her teachings that, "Trials have a purpose in our lives."

And they do. That purpose is to teach and lead us on the path that God has chosen for each one of us, so we are tested. Sometimes we get sidetracked and need guidance, we are human after all.

Do not fear, for He is with you, never once letting go. God sends guidance in many ways so watch for and be mindful of the signs for it can be easy to miss if you are not paying attention.

As sure as a goldsmith heats up gold to purify it, so to does God heat up our lives to make spiritual impurities rise to the surface. Isn't that completely amazing and wondrous?

We are free to make the choice to listen to Him and when we do, our sins/impurities are erased from our lives ~ we get a clean slate (so to speak) and an opportunity to renew and strengthen our faith.

Our new "cleansed" lives bring glory to God and joy to each of us. Trust God and forgive wrongs that have been done to you with your whole heart because forgiveness is so very FREEING!!

The naysayers that have tried to render you powerless now have absolutely no power over you!! Stand firm in your faith!! If a trial lies before you today, visualize the joy that awaits you ~ for it is truly on its way!!

"The genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 1:7) God Bless and Peace be with us all! Just my two cents...
