Interesting you bring up Peter. I started to post this earlier.Thanks for this..I've been struggling...I've actually been pretty good at staying the course and keeping my eyes on him and my trust in him through some truly really hard times over most of the last 26 years, but I've just struggled for the last few years...I think because I lost my mother just as the world around me went to insane hell...she always always always had the perfect thing to say to keep my mind right.
"Everything is gonna be alright, there is a brighter day"...the last thing she said to me.
My struggle is not being afraid of all "this"..it is to push down my worst impulse, which is to fight...the wrong way and with the wrong spirit. I have the same struggle Peter and the Sons of Thunder had...to constrain that wrong fleshy impulse.
With God's grace I will be alright though..everything is gonna be alright..there is a brighter day.
If we had DMs I would have sent this just to you, but we don't and so this is the only way I know to tell you how much that touched me...thanks.
Go read 1 Peter 1:6-9 if you have time today.
Rejoice in the trials of your faith. At the end, you will receive the joy of your salvation.
