I love and hate the times in my life when the rug is pulled up under me and I've found out what I've really been relying on. Is it money that I rely on, or the good relationships that I have, or the gifts and talents that I have that I base all of my security on? It's until these things are stripped away that I realize my dependence on them. It's after these things are stripped away that I slowly remember that my security is in Christ and my life is hid in Him.
I love everything from Him. I love how He puts on my heart the people I need to be intercedeing for. I love every trial, tribulation, and diverse temptation because not only does it make me more like Him, but it makes me look forward to the day when all of this will pass and everything will be as it is supposed to be.
All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story, which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before." - C.S. Lewis

I've read this post before... but it wasn't until recently that I totally understand what you mean when you say that you "love every trial..."
God does truly love us... it has been amazing to see how much he has changed our lives.
It is inspiring to see your heart be so pure and open as God leads your life story.
