I was faced square on with my illness today.  Then, out of the blue, Brother Emmanuel shared this with me.

From whom do the kings of the earth take tolls or census tax? From their subjects or from foreigners?” When he said, “From foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the subjects are exempt. But that we may not offend them, go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth and you will find a coin worth twice the temple tax. Give that to them for me and for you.” Matthew 17:25–27.

Reflect, today, upon the ways that God has assured you of His divine presence and action in your life. Though the assuring miracles God has performed in your life may not be physical in their manifestation, God’s workings can be just as convincing if we clearly perceive them. What does God want to assure you of in your life? What struggle or doubt do you struggle with? If you struggle, turn your mind to the ways that God has been present and active in your life. Ponder His intervention and the ways He has cared for you and led you. Be grateful and allow the memory of what God has done to be your strength today and the source of hope when you need it the most. Morning and have a blessed day.

Good morning everyone!  I have a few friends that I can really count on when I am lost in my mental illness.  God is present all the time and I just have to turn my mind to the ways that He has been present and active in my life (as Brother Emmanuel says).  Now, I ponder on God’s goodness to me.

It’s like a timelapse of a flower from a seedling to blooming to wilting, but God’s goodness faines not to the state of wilting, it is eternal to me.
