Deuteronomy 31:8

Yesterday I met my hubby and our girls at church. I really didn't want to go. My body was screaming in pain. My joints felt as if they were going to explode. My muscle were weak. My skin felt as if it was being overstimulated. Yet through all of this, I wasn't going to let my Fybro get in the way of my life. Seeing friends was wonderful but with every hug I gave I would silently cry out with pain. During Praise and Worship I could hardly take the pain, I had to sit down as the vibration of the music irritated my skin even more than it already was. My legs were shaking uncontrollably. Tears began to roll down my face as I questioned God, "Why would you allow this music that I am singing to you, to worship you, to praise you, hurt me?" I continued to sing as I was not giving up the chance to worship along side of my family and friends. Satan was not going to use this pain to interfere in my relationship with my Father! Right then I heard the gentle whisper of my Savior, "Do you trust me? Do you love Me? Will you praise me no matter what?" I lifted my hands to Him as if I was reaching for Him to take me by the hand to lead me. It was a very sweet and tender moment.

As Deuteronomy 31:8 states God's promise to me is that He would never leave me nor forsake me. Thank you Lord as I know this pain will not be wasted but that it will bring you glory.
