There is one thing the Devil will never steal from me; the love and respect I have for God. Even when the circumstances are adverse, I always know He is on my side and leading me through the waters. I will not drown in my fears because He holds my hand.

The enemy wants us to believe that our blessings are burdens and our burdens are blessings. It is very important to know that it is in the dark that the light shines.

There was one time when I was going down emotionally that I did not notice the hand He was giving to me. But then, one night, I woke up and saw His hand. I grabbed it and, from that moment on, I just climbed up out of the black pit until I was into the light – His light.

I still have my moments of discouragement but then, I remember His hand holding my hand and I feel safe again. I can hear His voice saying, “It is going to be ok.”

I look around and I see all the blessings He gives me every day and I forget the things that are not from Him. He draws me close to Him and I rest. He teaches me to always look for His hand and His light.

This is not for me only. Our Father wants all His children to know that His hands are always holding your hands. When you pray, remember to ask Him to never let His hands let go of your hands and to shine His light into your darkness.

Love,

Sonia
