Thank You, Adonai, for hard periods of time. (In my circumstance it has been the last month.) I have learned so many hard lessons through it. However, these hard lessons are sweeter than honey. They have come to be near and dear to me. I am more thankful than I can ever begin to describe or share. Thank You, Adonai, for these lessons. What gut-wrenching times, tear-inducing times, times of anger, times of great despair, times of wounds being cut and laid wide open, times of change, times of frustration, times of being numb, times of confusion, times of misunderstanding, times of division, times of distraction, etc. Yes, I have gone through the fullness of challenges. Some have been self-inflicted. Some have been because You answered prayer (which led me to great repentance and seeing how much I needed and need to change). Some have been because of others making their own mistakes.
It has not been easy. Not in the slightest.
But it has been worth every second of anguish.
It has been worth learning the lessons I have learned and am still learning.
It has been worth it because You have not allowed me as I was. You are transforming more into Your image.
It has been worth it because as of this morning, I see how much our relationship has changed and grown.
It has been worth every second because of the glory You have received and will receive the rest of my life because of these lessons You have taught me in this period of hard times and hard lessons.
Thank You, Adonai. Truly. Thank You.
