Jeremiah 31:15-17 "A sound is heard in Ramah, the sound of bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; they are gone, & she refuses to be comforted. Stop your crying,& wipe away your tears, all that you have done for your children will not go unrewarded; they will return from the enemy's land. There is hope for your future; your children; I, the Lord, have spoken." Carol, may God see the pain of your heart and meet you at your deepest point of need. He cares.

My struggle is when my heart and my head are pulling me in two different directions. The heart wants to do what's right, what God would like me to do, but my head looks at the practicality of the situation, and what the most logical plan of action should be. I pray for the strength stand firm in faith, and not grow cold. Amen to that Wendy.

I read it and all the comments and stories shared. They have encouraged me. My heart has grown cold because of pain that I feel in certain relationships. Wondering if it is worth it to keep on giving and loving. Though I know the answer in my head, it has to drop into my heart. To keep on trusting that Jesus Christ is my helper in all things - and that his timing is perfect, though at times it seems certain prayers will never be answered - thats when I take my eyes off Jesus and look at the circumstances. I pray the Lord will hear the cries of my heart and equip me to overcome the struggles of life in the power of his name. To not give up but to seek God's love. May God help us all as we grow in our relationship with him, so that we may live life well. God bless you. A friend suggested that I read this devotional about love growing cold.

I am here. Still here, sometimes silently reading, most times frantically trying to catch up. It is a really busy time at work now. Thank you for remembering me. Things are kind of peaceful now. I have started a little exercise of reading Psalm 91 once a day, for a month, like the devotion i shared recently suggested. Another little thing i do is to turn to God first when i am hurting about something, then i try to find something to be thankful for. It's true that it doesn't make the pain go away, but, it proves to me that things are not all that bad, and that God is with me. One step at a time.. Thank you ladies for everything. You are a blessing to me and i always have all of you to be thankful for. My virtual angels!!! (((((HUGS))))) Marilyn.. I am here.

Marilyn, Thank you so much for your words of kindness about my daughter.......I do feel that way....but then maybe I'm kind of prejudiced!! It was wonderful to see what she has done with her life without a Christian upbringing!! She and her family are truly a "joy" to us!! Burton, I am so happy for your revelation, like Dianne says this has been such a wonderful lesson!!

He is so good and His love endures forever! And, I pray that He will bring sensitive, caring Christian women into your life, who will encourage you, pray for you, and share your faith journey! To have such will be a great blessing for you! :) Burton, I just wanted to thank you for your kind words, and I’m rejoicing with you in God’s revelation to you!!

Your daughter sounds like an amazing woman of faith -- you are very blessed! When she got that proverbial 'slap in the face' by her co-workers, she chose to 'turn the other cheek.' She chose the high road, and was surely blessed by God for her sacrifice of self! Praise God! JoyB, your story about your daughter is a beautiful example of humble submission in service to her Lord!!
