Thoughts for 21May2012 # 2049 The learning and growing process We thank God for giving us opportunities to learn and grow. Each time He puts us through obstacles and difficulties we are cleansed and purified. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 2049
