In terms of reflecting back on the past nine months that has been rough on me physically, I'm glad and thankful that I landed between a rock and a hard place. God has really built me into stronger character. I said on my blog March 02 whilst reading Romans 5:3-5, "I have to rejoice for my physical suffering. I guess, I wasn't the complete character. For this very reason I will rejoice because in my distress, God will help me build character." At the time, I was confused, dejected and weak. Truth be told I wasn't the complete character then and God in his infinite mercy has built me into a stronger character over these nine months.
In my quiet time today reading my Bible I came across a verse, more or less emphasizes the same point. Quoting Philippians 2: 13, " for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose."
HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!
