When it's safe.

Beauty in Everything
Dear God, help me find beauty in everything. I need you to help me see the clouds as something to bring nourishment and not something to rain on my parade. Let me see lack as something to make me wise, not to make me suffer. Give me a heart of compassion that is born from my struggle and not a bitter one. Let me love others like I've never been hurt simply because I know You were with me every step and you didn't let any situation overtake me. Give me eyes to understand tha
