I Choose To See Beauty In The Midst Of Storms, Do You?

There were terrible storms that swept through our region last night, during the night and into the early hours of the new day. In the midst of these storms, I woke to the beauty of a delicate gardenia about to bloom. Don't tell me God is not in control because He truly is. I also spoke forth the prayer I was taught to pray in the midst of bad weather and so far, looking around the yard, the only thing I see is a shepherd's hook that needs to be re-positioned.  Choose to see beauty even if you may have experienced property damage because you are still alive and material items can be replaced. Pray for the families of those that lost their lives, they can use those prayers. They were there and alive at the start of the day yesterday and by the end of the night they lost their life. That must be a shock to their families. I remember when it happened to our family. My brother was there 1 day and then the boating accident and there was not even a body to view in his death. Jesus knows exactly where his final resting place was in the deep water, and he will arise when Jesus comes again and the dead in Christ shall rise and we the born-again believers in Jesus will join and meet them as we are called up to join Jesus. Such exciting times we are living in, especially if you are a born-again believer. Then we get to come back and rule & reign with Jesus for a 1,000-year reign with satan locked up for a period of time. Imagine that no lies, no deception, no stealing, murder, abduction of people, no abuse of children, no sex trafficking, no alcoholism, drug addiction, theft, etc. Jesus ruling & reigning what joy, what joy is set right before us. Do not fret and worry if someone is stealing from you today because God will expose it way before what I am sharing about future tense, and He will make it right and those thieves will have to deal with the wrong doings they did. So glad total restoration will take place.

Look up because your redemption draws near, nearer then you think.

Look for the beauty in this very day okay.
