A couple of days ago our women's ministry director sent me this quote from Susan Hunt's Spiritual Mothering:
Servitude is not easy.  Obedience is not a one-time decision.  Obedience is a life-time discipline.  But it does bring a simplicity to life because it settles the issue of who is in control.  It enables us to decode the confusing events in our lives.  When a woman is absorbed with God's glory, she will interpret her life according to His truth.

God's grace enables us to know our mission in life and empowers us to fulfill our mission. When by His grace we behold His glory, then we know that the only reasonable purpose for existence is to reflect that glory.  When we experience God's grace and make the decision to glorify Him, then our soul will rejoice in God, regardless of our circumstances.

My take-home: No matter the difficulty, obediently serve the Lord to see His glory.

Thank you for sharing this quote. Such a great reminder as I wait for my sweet babies to awake.
