God is a God of great kindness and He has showed many mercies and compasions to His children. We may have been blest with health or a good job, it may be many friends, or a nice house, it may be a dear spouse, it may be a deep and precious relationship with Him, it may be a church blessing whatever it is we have been blest. Yet in our lives there is often ONE thing that still gets us, and hurts us. Naaman the captian if Syria had everything yet he had a BUT in his life, BUT he was a LEPER. Hannah had a lovelly husband BUT she was BARREN.The land where Elisha the prophet resided was fair and pleasnt BUT the water was bad. Yet the wonderful thing about all these BUTS in scripture is that in these occassions the BUTS became BLESSINGS. I have ONE BUT in my life and it hurts me, and yet one day my BUT will be removed and become a blessing to me. The BUT of Hannah made her praying woman. The BUT of Naaman made him a beleiver in God. The BUT of the land in Elishas day displayed Gods power to the people. The BUT in your life will turn around for your good.
May be your BUT is "But I have no real Friend, BUT I have no dear beloved spouse, BUT I have no children to care for" Whatever it is rest in the Lord and love life to the full as possible and in time God will turn the BUT into Blessing.
