The Lord who "thus far" has helped you Will help you all your journey through. "When the words 'thus far' are read in heaven's light, what glorious and miraculous prospects they reveal to our grateful eyes!" —C.H. Spurgeon

We aren't promised that this life will be easy, but we are promised that the Lord is good. Amidst many trials and sufferings in Judy Anderson's life, she continues to ask the Lord, "What would you have for me next?" Rather than dwelling on the hardship, Judy encourages us to seek the Lord and reflect Him in everything that we go through. "For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison," (2 Corinthians 4:17) We hope you are encouraged by Judy's story in today's episode.
