This is a quote from Brennan Manning's book, Ruthless Trust that I have printed out and it sits with my Bible, so I can see it every morning.
"My trust in God's providence and His plan for my life is absolute, so there is no such thing as a bad day. My experience of God has taught me that whatever He does must of necessity be good. Thus, everything that I receive from His loving hand, or whatever He permits me to receive from the hand of others--be it prosperity or adversity, sweet or bitter--I accept with joy and see it as a sign of His favor. My first resolution each morning is to attach myself to nothing but the will of God alone."
I would love to say I live this everyday...someday's are more challenging than others, but what a wonderful reminder of my Heavenly Father's grace in my life continually!
