Seemingly dark days

"[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love." Colossians 1:13 AMPC

It is unavoidable, there will be what seems like dark days, (or, weeks, months, years), that we feel the life has been sucked right out of us - the carpet pulled right out from underneath us.  However, during those seemingly dark times of our lives we must, must, must, confess and hold firm in faith that God has already redeemed us from the darkness.  Therefore, the darkness we feel we've fallen into, isn't darkness at all, instead, it is a time in our lives that will not only bring us closer to God, but will also be turning point for our lives.  Therefore, keep on moving forward, even during those seemingly dark days, stay firm in faith, grab hold of God, and know this: everything happens for a reason, nothing is a surprise to God, and although we may feel lifeless,hurt, dark, and depressed, God will turn it around for our good.  

You are loved, you are a blessing, you are blessed, you ARE God's precious child!!
