All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

I had forgotten it's His way, not mine.

Over the past three months there has been this downfall of things that if I even began to list them all would overwhelming. It was weird, I thought for about 7 weeks God was just punishing me or trying to get my attention or something. Then over the last few weeks I finally recognized how this chain of events had set up my current situation in order to me to spend some personal time with God, to get physically well and mentally back on track. It just clicked today and I see where every time four things went wrong, a blessing was there at the end that without it, I don't know what I would have done to survive in this present situation. I am blessed because I know that even when I don't recognize it, it REALLY is a plan of the Lords, it may seem like everything is falling apart at the time,, for the moment, but it is something with God's plan, something that takes me to a blessing or a place where He needs me, or where I can have Him even more. Thank you God even for the trials and tribulations you send to me and I pray for forgiveness for not knowing all along that it would all be ok, that it was You doing your works each day. I pray you will help me to remember this lesson and I just feel blessed by the Holy Spirit for everything you have brought me through, even when I don't initially recognize it.

Sister Autumn,

It's really a unique relationship we have with our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ, isn't it?

His ways are sometimes hard to understand at the time........but then later......... alright Lord, now I see what You were doing.

And it turns out to be the exact thing that was needed at that particular time. It's great that you see that..........

His children (us) need trials and tribulations from time to time ......... because that's when we grow spiritually.

What kind of children would we be if we received everything we wanted.......everything went our way........and we never experienced some disappointments?

It seems that people don't realize that part of agape love is God giving us what we need........not what we want.

Imagine if we gave our children/grandchildren candy and sweets all the time because that's what they want?

Or, let them go out onto a busy street to play.... cause that's what they want.......?

God knows what His children need.

You're doin' fine, Sis.

Grace and Peace.

It has been over a year that you posted, and poured your heart out. I hope that things are going better for you, and I would ask your prayers that I too will get well both physically and mentally. I have had a lot of anger issues that I don't ever seem to have victory over. These include anger at God, which is completely uncalled for, and for which I seem to have little control over. I hate the place I am in right now, and would covet yours, and others prayers.

O.K., Spunkygirl,

I've added you to my prayer list.........zeroing in on your anger issues.

Out of anyone and everyone possible to be mad at, don't be mad at God.

Study Chapter 45 of the Book of Isaiah, and we'll proceed from there. Amen?

Grace and Peace.

The Lord can work in Mysterious ways for Good and Bad I think it is a way of him to test the waters sometimes we feel we are trudging in deep waters or drowning in anguish were are sometimes elevated to new grounds or Horizons a way of setting our paths correctly is intentions are for the good or to rekindled thoughts sometimes those stressful demons get the better of us a time to change direction or flow God plan is to refine and polish and to enrich us with favour for the fruit of the vine is a greater harvest of prosperity and to share the seasons of richness and of those with less turn to the lord in all tribulations for he is a restorer of faith and Healer to the Broken may god guide you and keep you well rest upon you and enlighten enrich you grant you peace, Amen
