God never promised there would always be sunshine, but He does promise that He will be there to guide us through every dark day. He will ride out the storms with us, calm the sea and give us His sweet peace. With God at the center of our lives we are able to stay balanced and focused on our heavenly goal. When we are having our darkest day and all seems lost we should not get discouraged and think for one minute that God has given up on us or we just don't matter. Jesus loves us so much that He can't imagine heaven without us. He will protect us in times of trouble and comfort us in times of sorrow and grief. What a blessing it is to serve such an all powerful, loving Lord and Savior. When we are living within God's will, we can rest assure that His eyes are keeping a loving watch over us and He is ready to answer when we cry for help. Jesus is our shelter from every storm.
