A New Perspective

There is a part of my life, well not just one part, but this particular part, that I've been struggling with for years.  And by years I mean some years.  Like 25+ years.  Long, hard, resentful, up and down, tears, guilt, anger, hate, disgust, head turning, thought provoking, questioning.....oh, I could go on and on and on.

Well, I got it all handed to me on a big platter today.  I love discovering new blogs, ones that really speak to me.  This really is leading somewhere, I promise.  So today I discovered three new blogs, ones I actually saved onto my blog list, and two of them had posts that God used to speak to me about said situation.  Those things are:
1) Time is short and I will have regret if I don't make things right
2) Things are not going to change - accept it - and realize that right now my role has changed.  I'm not to play the part of Queen of Suffering any longer.  My new role is that of friend.
3) God commands us to love.  And to serve others.  And to help others.  And He has never intended me to carry this burden.  He wanted it ALL ALONG.  Get it?  I sure haven't.

God is good.  That is an understatement to how I want to describe this revelation.  He is so faithful to show us His love and mercy.
