God has not promised Skies always blue,

flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God has promised strength for the day,
rest for the labor, light for the way,
grace for the trials, help from above,
unfailing sympathy, undying love.

By Annie Johnson Flint

Yes... My skies aren't always blue, my road hasn't always been a bed of roses. I haven't been joyful without first feeling sorrow, neither have I felt peace before pain.

BUT yes, My GOD gives me the strength to go through the day. Strength to smile, to love, to rest, to believe again...

He has given me strength to love again, to trust again...

Loving my God :)
