The Daily Ricky

April 6th

As I set here this morning, my heart is uplifted and my soul does rejoice. I do not take times like this for granted, because tomorrow it might be different. I acknowledge Him and welcome the sweet presence of the Lord!

I remember before my stroke, I was severely depressed and numb to sensing God. My mind was so far away from His help! I know now, it was a false pride that had built up over time.

How deceived I was, how utterly bewildered! But, His hand reached through all the pride, the deception and deceivement and pulled me out.

Everyday, I am reminded of His undying love and faithfulness. Where are you today, how cold or indifferent have you become? It’s so easy sometimes to take for granted His fragrance, we become desensitized, numb, totally unaware!

If we would stand and do what we know to do, I know sooner or later; He’d break through.

I remember a song, part of it said this . . . the sorrow is only for a time, the morning just around the corner . . . No matter what we face, He is able to carry us, no matter what we face . . .
