Celebration

I have had a rough past few weeks and this devotional spoke right to my heart. I like what was said about the misery of childbirth- that God's desire is to transform the misery, not bypass it. A lot of the time, I tell myself that I need to "stuff" my feelings, but the real victory is in feeling the feelings and the suffering and seeing that God is there and He is with me even through that. Even through my hardest times, God is with me. He never leaves us. That alone is a reason to celebrate!
