finding strength

"at this, Job got up and tore his robe
and shaved his head.  Then he fell to the
ground in worship and said:
'Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked i will depart.
The Lord gave and the Lord has
taken away;
may the name of the Lord
be praised'.
In all this, Job did not sin by charging
God with wrongdoing."
- Job 1:20-22

as i read that passage i feel a lot of conviction......i only hope that i can grow into the faithful kind of Christ-follower that Job was.  i only hope that i can be that in-love with my Maker that through all the misery and pain that life throws at you i will still choose to serve Him, to worship Him, to turn Him. 
i have a lot of things going on in my life right now and i gotta admit that i am struggling through a lot of it.....

i only hope i can grow into that kind of Christ-follower.
