Oh, that’s wonderful. And thank you. I typically spend way too much time beating myself up over failures too. I’m trying to fix my eyes more on the Lord. It’s not about me anyway, right?

Thank you for this today! So neat that Daniel has so much grit and perseverance. But I am like Daniel though in that I have a hard time seeing the big picture. Sometimes it seems like I’m too focused on the negative and things I failed at rather than being more focused on the things I should be thankful for. Self-examination is helpful when we use it as a tool rather than a place to dwell. So loved what you said about fixing our eyes on God. You’re amazing. Thanks for speaking to my heart. I’m gonna fix my eyes on God today rather than dwelling on my faults 🙂

Yes!!! Even when we doubt him. Work is being done.

It can be heartbreaking sometimes. But you’re right, in the big picture, it is wonderfully character-developing. God knows what he’s about when he sets us in families, doesn’t he?

Thank you, Laurelle! No one wants to endure the training. I sure don’t. 🙂

I believe that we forget that we do have to endure the training. Unfortunately, most of us(myself included) like to have instant gratification. Very well said, April!
