"What's the truth you've uncovered about God that's impacted you the most?"

Through over a decade of living with a severe chronic illness, I have learned that God remains faithful and abundant in grace even amidst the really tough times.

I have seen that, no matter how hard life gets, God heaps blessings upon us, big and small. Whatever my day looks like, whether I’m feeling well enough to do uni life and work and see friends, or whether I'm feeling too rough to leave my bed, I am always relieved to remember that I don't have to do the day in my own strength, because He gives us the grace that we need to do each day.

A precious truth I have learned is that, although he doesn't take us out of the storms of life, he still blesses us in them. We can then rejoice in looking forward to the day when there will be no more storms, when 'He will wipe every tear from [our] eyes. [And] there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain...’ Revelation 21:4
