But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away 2 Corinthians 3:16
Oftentimes we put on a facade. A happy face. The world expects us to be "fine". When someone asks "How are you today" they oftentimes don't really want to know. With the exception of close friends or close family members, they really just don't care.
I find it comforting to know that no matter what, no matter how I feel or what I am going through, I can go to the Lord. He knows what I am going through before I even tell Him, He is just waiting for me to talk it out with Him. How it brings me a peace to know that I always have a friend who will see me like and I am and still love and accept me.

Verse of the Day
Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and delight. Psalm 43:3-4
It's fall. I have been away for a bit. Traveling for work, then for vacation. Sometimes life is way too hectic.lol
The vacation was nice. I saw family for a couple of days, and I was at a good friend's wedding. Like all weddings, the bride was beautiful. It was really a good time. They were happy, the friends were happy, the family was happy. It was a good day.
The one thing that struck me was that the divorce rate is so high today in America. Not sure about other countries, but it's high in America. I was talking to another friend at the wedding, and she and her husband of 11+ years are having problems. Serious problems. I reflected some on my marraige, and then on my divorce. The one thing I realized is that sometimes we try to find happiness in other people. No one can make us happy. Happiness in and of itself is fleeting. True joy is everlasting, and true joy can only come from our relationship with the Lord. Surrendering to Him, to the Holy Spirit, and really striving to live a Christ like life. More and more I realize the importance of having the focus of my life be the Lord.
