LOOK FOR ME IN THE HARD PLACES of your life. I's easy to find Me in answered prayer, in beauty and heartfelt Joy. But I am also tenderly present in difficulties. In fact, your problems are fertile soil for growing in grace and encountering My loving Presence in greater depth and breadth. So search for Me in dark times—both past and present. If you're plagued by painful memories and hurtful past experiences, look for Me in them. I know all about them, and I am ready to meet you there. Invite Me into those broken places, and cooperate with Me in putting the fragments back together in new ways. If you are walking through tough times in the present, remember to cling to My hand. Against the dark backdrop of adversity, the Light of My Presence shines in transcendent radiance. This Light blesses you abundantly—providing both comfort and guidance. I will show you the way forward step by step. As you walk close to Me, I will draw you into deeper, richer intimacy with Me. Pt1
