It does not say you wont go through stuff, but what you are going through is working for your good to strengthen you and help you draw closer to God.

When I do the best work I have to put the Arcing equipment in a very dark place and turn down the power to truly see what is really happening with my work.

I lost my sister (44) last year and was privleged to lead her to the Lord on her deathbed. Since then, I and my family have been led by God in and out of several dark seasons, but let me testify - HE DOES LEAD US OUT INTO THE LIGHT AGAIN - even though it may seem the night is endless.

Especially 40 and 41. He rejoices to sustain you and he rejoices with all his heart and with all his soul. I challenge you, can you conceive of an intensity of desire that is greater than a desire empowered by "all God's heart and all God's soul"? Suppose you took all the desire for food and sex and money and fame and power and meaning and friends and security in the hearts and souls of all the human beings on the earth—say about six billion—and you put all that desire, multiplied by all those six billion hearts and souls, into a container. How would it compare to the desire of God to do you good implied in the words, "with all his heart and with all his soul"? It would compare like a thimble to the Pacific Ocean. Because the heart and soul of God are infinite. And the hearts and souls of man are finite. There is no intensity greater than the intensity of "all God's heart, and all God's soul." And that is the intensity of the joy he has in sustaining you with sovereign grace: "I will rejoice over them to do them good . . . with all my heart and all my soul." I urge you to yield to it and be mastered by sovereign, sustaining grace. May God increase your and my faith to truly comprehend His joy to sustain us. Kern Susan,
