The darker the situation, and the more problematic the circumstances, and the more difficult the things we have to go through, the reward on those things is substantially greater.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Instead, let us choose to enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise for all that He has done and continues to do\u2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God.<br \/>\nHe is the faithful God who keeps His covenant for a thousand generations<br \/>\nand lavishes His unfailing love on those who love Him and obey His commands.<br \/>\nDeuteronomy 7:9 NLT<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">* ~ \u2665 ~ \u271e ~ \u2665 ~ *<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heavenly Father, here I stand&#8230;arms wide open&#8230;heart wide open.
