I was doing the first day of a 40 day Bible study tonight. I almost put it off but decided to dive in. It was one of 3 things on my Self Care Sunday list. Below a verse I was supposed to be reading was this. When I saw it, it jumped right off the page and landed on my heart.
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. ~ Isaiah 48-11
Whew!
Heavy stuff, Jerz.

It sure was. It wasn't even part of the study. It was the verse following the reading. It never fails to stun me when it feels like a verse was meant for me. As in that verse where it's like the Lord telling me directly that he knows what I've been through. I know it's taken out of context but considering the fact that my life has been taken out of context, it's sort of fitting. I know I'm better. Not healed but better. I'll take it!
