All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
over flow
so this week had been filled with tribulation for me but i have been trying to push forward and letting God, do what he does, take care of me, well i decided that since both of the kids were sick and going from both ends i would let my fiancee stay home with them instead of taking them to church with me and i would go for sunday school and stay until praise and worship music was over and then head home, so he could go to work, well it worked out nothing liek that and now i am left feeling angry and upset that i didnt make it to church and i keep alternateing between anger and tears. sorry just had to vent, i am about to go pray and ask God to take this burden from me, i kno its overdue for the day but i let myself get caught up in pity partying :(

Hi Charlene...It is so easy to become discouraged. But do not. Hard times strengthen us. We must always call on the Lord and completely trust in Him. He will never leave us or forsake us. It sounds like you may be experiencing condemnation for not attending church. Condemnation is not from God. God knows our hearts. He knows the trials we are going through, he allows them to teach us to trust in Him completely. Church is important for learning and fellowship...but each and every day is important to spend with Jesus....The Holy Spirit is not just in the building of the church you attend...The Holy Spirit lives inside us directing and guiding us---you know that! :)
So go easy on yourself. You are doing just great! And remember, There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The enemy will try to discourage each of us.. By slowly picking away at us through the circumstances we face.
When I noticed your post title 'OverFlow', I immediately thought of it like this: When we go to the Lord by spending quiet time with Him, by praying, listening, read His Word.....it is in those times that He fills us. Once He fills us..we are to go out into the world living out of the 'Overflow' of God's Love for us. Well sister, you need to be filled, because you are running on empty...It happens to all of us. Do not give up, keep pressing onward towards the goal. Trust in Christ. He hears our prayers, and He will answer them. It may not be as you expect Him too...But HE will answer them in His timing, and God's timing is perfect.
I trust that by the time you pick up this note you will have already been with the Lord, and He is now comforting you with His Great Love.
Heavenly Father,
I have never thanked you for my thorns. I have thanked thee a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my thorns. Teach me the Glory of the cross I bear, teach me the value of my thorns. Show me that I have climbed to Thee by the path of pain. Show me that my tears have made my rainbow.
In the name of Christ Jesus We pray. Amen!
God comforts us when we are afflicted, and from His consolation we learn to comfort others. The thorns in my life show me the beauty of God's comfort. Psalm 23:4, Psalm 119:50, 2 Corinthians 7:4,
2 Corinthians 1:4.
My dear sister...tell me how you are.

oh thank you so much carla, thank you for your words of encouragment and strength and thank you for your time. I was mostly upset because its so hard to find christian fellowship especially Hot chrisitans, most are luke warm and i am craving iron sharpens iron, i am desperate for God and for edifying learning and being surrounded by His love and praise, even tho i spend time with the Lord doing all three things, i just wish i had someone that i could talk to about the verses that light me on fire, instead of being looked at like huh or that silence that pretty much tells you they cant relate, I kno i need to understand that i am never alone God is with me and i can talk to Him about my love for Him and kno that he understands the desire that He put in my heart, but i need to think of all of this exactly as you sd, this is all making me stronger and training me in steadfastness, i am gonna go look up those verses and meditate on them. The funniest thing is that i was okay with not going to church at first and i kno that was Gods peace and i vowed to set aside extra time to spend in His presence but when my fiancee got up all well rested and i noticed the kids still sleeping i let myself get caught up in my dissappointment and i guess this is where i started going wrong, cuz i started playin out all the shoulda woulda couldas, oh the kids woulda still be sleeping, i shoulda just went and so on and so on, now i am def gonna recognize that these thoughts are not from Abba and run and pick up my word and immerse myself in it, Praise God for His truth and His love!!!Almost immediately after spending time in His presence i felt peace and calm and i need to work my hardest to KEEP that peace, this is so hard to me as i tend to have racing thoughts, but i just need to pray for them to slow and for God to guide them.

Dont let the devil take your joy charlene. It's okay to vent when you need to, but lean on God's word to get you through your tough times. Praise God every chance you get and watch your trials turn around.

Lose yourself in the scriptures and remember God's love and forgiveness. You must also show love and forgiveness to those you are angry at before you can feel better. Live for now not what has happened.

Patience so true so true, and i realized late lastnight that the real reason behind my tears and anger were that i was holding a grudge and it was literally making me sick, as Gods child i cant hold anything not of God inside of me and it was tearing me up and the minute i realized it i gave it God and whooa instantly lighter yoke, Praise God for His mercy and revelations, thank you so much patience
