At the heart of every storm....

"At the heart of every storm there is a victory waiting to be claimed"...my friend's blog uses this quote borrowed from her friend's letter.

I am thankful tonight that my friend posted this.

I had an especially hard evening. I sat in my car and prayed and cried for a long time. I want divine intervention in a particular situation in my life. I have asked God for this miracle every single day for over 2 years. Tonight I felt hurt and even a bit mad at God for not granting this request yet. I am torn between feeling love toward my Father and the desire to scream at Him. So tonight in the car I did both.

I asked God for answers. I cried. I begged. I sobbed. Then I got mad. I screamed at Him at the top of my lungs. Really, really screamed at Him. I really let Him have it! But in return, God calmed my spirit and gave me peace. I was able to repent for my disrespect toward Him and left the car feeling more relaxed. I pondered my situation for a while and then I came across my friend's blog.

"At the heart of every storm there is a victory waiting to be claimed". My victory? God's victory? Really it doesn't matter, for they are one in the same. God has promised us victory...and He always keeps His promises.

I am grateful tonight to have a Lord who speaks to me so personally. He allows my tantrums and tears but comforts me in a way no one else can. I also thank God for my friend...she writes what is on her heart. And tonight God laid on her heart what to write to meet my heart.
