Today we will be reflecting on the beautiful truth—Jesus wants to shine through us.

But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel  Philippians 1:12 NKJV

My Dear Precious Child,

I have not forgotten you. I have not abandoned you. I have waited so that I may be gracious to you. I know you are in pain. I see your affliction. I hear your cry. I am collecting your tears in My tear bottle. One day I will wipe away all your tears. I will touch you and make you whole. Your suffering will not be wasted. I will use all the evil that the enemy meant for harm, for your good, and to spread the gospel that I may be glorified. Wait on Me. Patiently endure to the end like a good soldier and I will give you the crown of life. My grace will strengthen you in ways that you cannot imagine at this time. In your weakness, My power will shine through you and others will see Me shining through you. Rejoice therefore in the midst of your trials knowing that I am refining you, molding you to be like Me. I will help you forget your complaint, put off your sad face, and wear a smile for I the LORD your God AM with you always even unto the end.

Love,
Jesus
