The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 NIV

Good evening God Thought family.
I am getting reading to put my head on the pillow but wanted to share a wee of Max Lucado with you.
In The Eye of the Storm...Suffering
There is a window in your heart through which you can see God. Once upon a time that window was clear. Your view of God was crisp. you could see God as vividly as you could see a gentle valley or hillside.
Then suddenly, the window cracked. A pebble broke the window. A pebble of pain. And suddenly God was not easy to see. The view that had been so crisp had changed.
You were puzzled. God wouldn't allow something like this to happen, would he?
When you can't see him, trust him...Jesus is closer than you've ever dreamed.
"I leave you peace, my peace I give you. I do not give it to you as the world does. So don't let your hearts be troubled or afraid." John 14:27
Good night. Zzzzz

Oh wow, so glad it was a blessing for you lymetoo.
One of my favorite writers is Ann Voskamp. I actually read a devotional of hers a short ago. Here is part of it and then I will share the link for if you might be interested in reading:
In Christ — no matter the road, the storm, the story — we always know the outcome.
I decided to use The Message version this morning. Powerful
God's love is meteoric, His loyalty astronimic, His purpose oceanic. Yet in his largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse, slips through the cracks. Psalm 36:5-6
