Today’s tip is a little different. It is something I have been pondering.

Something that we all face as those with chronic illness and disability is both accepting and using our illness. What I mean is that we must accept what comes as God’s will while still fighting to use what God has given us. How do we balance this?

It hits me that our trust in and love for God must be at the base of this balancing act.

We trust that God knows best and will take care of all. We rest in this fact, accepting what comes.

We love God which means we give Him freely what we do have, using our small strength for His glory. Our love for Him makes us want to love people even in our weakness.

We rest; we serve. We trust in God; we love God.
