"Faith never knows where it is being lead, but it loves and knows the One who is leading."~ Oswald Chambers:I have great faith, and love, in my heavenly Father. Many people have questioned my faith, they say things such as:how can you love, and believe in someone that you have never seen? I respond by saying to them:I see my Father everyday, His handiwork is everywhere you look. Just look in the mirror, you are one of His beautiful creations. They often ask me, how can you love someone that has brought such pain in your life, such as the death of your Mother? I respond by saying, my heavenly Father gave life to my Mother, and blessed my life by making her my Mother. He took her to live with Him, because He did not want her to suffer anymore. He never promised us that our lives would be free from pain, but He always leads us out of the pain, and helps us to be better people. My faith,may take me places where I have never been, but that is ok. I know, and dearly love, the One who is leading me there. Heavenly Father, I will gladly play follow the Leader with You, all the days of my life.

That's a beautiful post, Denise. I love the way you ended it: "I will gladly play follow the Leader with You, all the days of my life." Wonderful thoughts.
My post is up . . . very difficult one to write. Hope you will provide feedback. All thoughts, ideas, opinions are welcome.
[Heavenly Father, I will gladly play follow the Leader with You] I would have to change... Heavenly Father, I have a little faith; help me have more so that I will follow ~ Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Great post! Your always so sweet on honest - I love how you can see God and still believe - even in heartache! What an inspiration to us all! Thank you for your sweet post!
Amen to that :) - Yes, He never promised that there would be no pain and sorrow this side of heaven. But we know that the trails and tribulation are easier to endure with Him by our side.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this week's IOW quote.
Be blessed today and always...
great testimony to the Lord working in your life! Have a blessed Tuesday!
He never promised we'd be free from pain...so true! It's worshiping through the pain that's important.
I teach my kids to see God in His creation and in people around them. We can see Him!
Blessings to you, Denise!
Beautifully said, Denise!
