Jesus said, "In this world you will have tribulation ... but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." How soon we forget , We have so much to do every day: cooking, cleaning, errands, homework-the list never ends, and we never quite seem to catch up. It is at this point, at our most exhausted, that God is closest and waiting for us to lean on Him for strength and support. The Making of a Perfect Heart is one woman's observations on the lives of other women, struggling to keep their heads above water. There are simple, important lessons we have read in the Bible, but these lessons tend to be forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life. For example, times of tribulation are not punishment; they are instead opportunities to give up on self-reliance and cast our worries to the Lord. Even in the darkest, dreariest times in our lives, we must keep in mind what Jesus said: "Not my will but your will be done." It is time to take a moment, slow down, and return to your everlasting Father. He knows how to give you a perfect heart, if only you are prepared to trust Him in all you do and know that He always has the best intentions for the lives of His children.
