It is strange....when I consider how my sadness, which has been with me since childhood, has taken its full shape.
Many think it is just about positive thinking..... but I can remember my turning point in one place, and in one place alone.
I cried out to God, and said, "I am miserable, but You promise life! You can do whatever You want with me, if I can only know You as fully as possible."
Suffering is only bad if it has no purpose.
What has happened, to my immense joy, has been that I have been given joy and love unending, but also that my melancholy state and sadness have been channeled into useful, good things in my life. It is not that suffering has been erased, but it has been changed.
The story is not good by ripping pages out.....only by reading on, and seeing how the future events will mold the meaning of the past into a glowing tapestry of grace.
