FREEDOM!!

Praise the Lord, Ana's friend Joe that was kidnapped has been freed!!!
But what amazing faith of his family. I got a facebook message that said (my paraphrase) "This time God said 'yes.' But even if He had said 'no' we would still say 'BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD. THE LORD GIVES AND TAKES AWAY.'"
Talk about amazing faith. Then the rest of the message is a gospel presentation with Scripture verses. Wow! May God give me such strong faith to be able to say that in that kind of circumstance. I've been learning a lot on the last couple years about praising God no matter what the circumstances, but never to such an extreme. If one of my loved ones got kidnapped or had something terrible like that happen I know my faith would be stretched like never before and only by God's grace would I maintain what sanity He has granted me. But, God doesn't give us more than we can handle. His grace is sufficient. He is in control and when it comes down to it, all we really CAN do is cling to Him and trust Him. He is good. And He is love. His ways and thoughts are far higher than ours and beyond our comprehension, but that's why He's God and we're not. I'm ok with resting in His arms and letting Him work out everything for His glory. That's what being His daughter is all about!
Glory to God! He has set us free!!
