It seems like the hard times is what we need in order for god to get our attention on what we’re doing and why things seem so hard. I think he is calling us back to remind us that we need to seek him and trust him Bc without him nothing is ever better. It’s my story I think. I’m stubborn n walk doing things on my own Bc false pride and ego trips take hold. I have to hit pretty low bottoms to correct me but Jesus knows my heart and works theu me by getting my attention the hard way. I’ve always traveled the hard road but by gods grace he somehow graces me! It’s such a hurtful and shameful place to fall but I’m so grateful my father pays better attention then I do. That’s unconditional love and grace by him 10 fold. We are so very blessed by Jesus!
