So Thankful

I know this may sound strange; but tonight, I am so thankful for all the bad things that have happened in my life.  All of the suffering, pain, trials and heartache have pulled me so much closer to my Father God. 

Psalm 34:17-18 says...

The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.

He rescues them from all their troubles.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;

He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.

This IS my testimony!  My Father has rescued me!  I have grown so much through all of the troubles.  I am thankful for the person that I have become because of them.

Thank you again Lord for your faithfulness!
