I've been reading all the verses about God's love in Nave's Topical Dictionary. Right now, I'm going through the beginning of the Old Testament, and I was amazed at how much love God displayed for His people even in the era of law and judgment. God chose His people and displayed His love for them for millenia. His love wasn't always giving them good things. Sometimes, in His all-wise love, He took them through some very difficult times. He led them through slavery in Egypt and years in the desert before He rewarded them with the Promised Land that was flowing with milk and honey. Sometimes, God does that for us in His love too. He sends difficult times to help us grow. This isn't always easy to accept, but we must realize His love even in the difficult times.
Lord, thank You so much for Your love. Thank You for the blessings and the difficulties You send. Help me to see the good in the difficult times. Help me to appreciate the growth that comes from hard times. Help me to become better instead of bitter. I want to become what You want me to be.
