God’s love for us is so beautiful and so profound that it is often unrecognizable to us at first. And so for us to learn to see it, God must lead us through unrecognizable places. These unknown places are often the most uncomfortable. But when we begin to see all the days of our lives as places of God’s mercy, we cannot stay resentful or discouraged about even the most disappointing moments of our lives because they all become moments that God uses to shape us for his purposes.
