Part Of It Is In Me. . .

Lately, I have been following along with the daily readings of Streams In The Desert. I encourage any of you that may be going through a tough time right now to get this devotional and read it daily. You can find it on www.amazon.com.

Every day, without fail, these readings express something so profound in relation to faith and suffering. It has been an amazing encouragement to both Dave and me. Yesterday, it spoke of a storm and the evidence of itself that is left behind.

"But the storm swept on, and passed out of the valley; and if I had sat in the same place the following day, and said, "Where is that terrible storm? . . ." the grass would have said, "Part of it is in me." and the daisy would have said, "Part of it is in me." and the fruits and the flowers and everything that grows in the ground would have said, "Part of it is in me." . . .Fear not the stormy tempest that is at this moment sweeping through your life. A blessing is in the storm, and there will be rich fruit in the afterward."

May we not let this storm pass without allowing its power and its purpose to become a part of us.
