Psalm 27:13: Though my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.
Whilst some of us can tell about the wonderful parents we have, or have had, there are many who can tell of the terrible things they have gone through instead.
But how many will be willing to stand up and say how God has done terrible things to them; how many actually believe that to be true?
If we could be more like Job and believe God is always on our side no matter what, we may well have a better understanding of How much God actually loves us.
Far too often we allow our own perceptions of time, size, strength and truth to overrule the actual because we somehow see comfort in how things have gone wrong instead!
