Every opportunity I will remember, the promises that have been made to me by the lover of my soul. I never will forget the way I have been loved without condition or bias, just loved. A love that is limitless...a love that is pure, a love that does not seek self gain or satisfaction. I never will forget this love that chose to give for me, not just anything, but everything. This love that died in my stead. When I think about the P.O.W.E.R. of love, this is what comes to my mind. That I never will forget to love as I have been loved, to forgive as I have been forgiven, to live in appreciation for the life that was given instead of my own. I never will forget who I am and whose I am, empowered with greatness, kissed with favor, blessed with gifts and ability to fulfill purpose and destiny. I never will forget that my life matters, despite what it looks like today, despite the present circumstances. An investment of blood and sweat were given for my life to matter. And so, I will not waste what I have been given, though changes, challenges and opportunities(disguised as trials) come each day...I will not waste more time than neccessary dealing with each. I will never forget to rise with gratitude each morning and lay down with appreciation. I will never forget to greet the human race with joy and a smile. I will never forget that all things work together for my good...because of He whom I love. Never, never, never will I forget that life is for living and that I shall, I must, live ...it is evidence of my gratitude. I will never forget and I am grateful today for all the memories, past, present and future.
As I turn to page 25, chapter 2012, I have taken a moment, just a moment to turn back and review some of the previous chapters. I look back and am reminded of the miracles I have experienced. I am reminded of the miracle that I am. As I look back, just a few chapters, I see an amazing story of a woman kept, a soul saved, a heart committed to the lover there of. As I look back, I see that on several occasions, I did not understand what was going on at the time of the actual writing, but now, I can see that everything is working together for good. I read over places where the challenges seemed overwhelming and changes did not make sense, but as I read further, I saw the benefit of each and every trial. I look back and review the pages of this book, the author is brilliant, the pieces did not seem to fit, but He brought them all together. Just like a puzzle, I can now see every piece fitly joined together. I did not notice then...
