At the close of another year, I am grateful that I am still here with family that loves me. This has been a tough year. I have had some health issues, lost some family members, and struggled to understand the world around me like so many others. The fact that I am still here is a miracle unto itself because I know I have come close to trying the patience of the God of All Creation many times. But what I have learned is that it is absolutely true that God loves us unconditionally and will stay with us through our fears, doubts, and failures. Whether or not God can use us for His monumental work depends entirely on our willingness to be open and receptive to His loving guidance for our lives. It is possible to live our entire lives and never be all that God intended us to be if we are stubborn and resistant to His will. The greatest form of gratitude we can offer Him for His magnificent gift of life is to yield to His absolute claim on who we are and who we can be. And His very nature of unconditional and transcendent love has left this as a choice for us to make on our own. We must choose wisely. |
