How To Believe

Hello Everyone,

Life is something that we can not predict it's every twist and turn, we hope, pray and anticipate.  This is where believing and faith comes into play.  We are not made to know everything, nor could we handle it if we did.  God knows how much we can bare and when we can bare it.  Thus, life happens.

So, how does one believe?  First, you must believe that God is almighty and that He keeps His word no mater what.  We, however, must trust Him and look to Him for help.  One believes by accepting the fact that God may not come when we want Him, but, He is always on time.  One believes by surrendering worries upon Him and trusting that He will come through.  One believes by letting God be there through it all and yield not to how one perceives things should be, but, look forward to God's results, which will far exceed anything one could ever imagine.

I have learned that God is a true friend and wonderful heavenly Father.  He makes His presence known, when we need His shoulder to lean upon, He will let us lean as long as we need.  Someone very near and dear to me once recited the Serenity Prayer to me, I am so thankful.  It helped me so much.  I would always reflect on the first part.  I would like to share the entire prayer with you.

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
 Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Believe that God will come through.

He Will Work It Out For You

Hello Everyone,

Can I just say, "thank you Lord."  Today was interesting and very revealing about people and how treacherous they can be, and how out of their minds they become when all of their antics and foolishness does not phase you. Well, I had that experience, but I was the one not phased, so, I thank my strong God for being right there having my back.  I feel a sense of peace and relief.  Others may say oh my goodness, you were treated horrible and while that is true, God revealed so much to me and kept me strong that there is nothing left to do but be grateful. I prayed and prayed often and will keep on praying.  God did it for me and He will do it for you.  Never doubt God's ability to strengthen you and make you confident when others put there best foot forward to try and stomp you, just step aside, let God work and watch him work.  He is faithful.  I saw a quote that I truly adore it read something to the affect, if a door closes, praise Him in the hallway until the next one opens.

Listen friends, God is a friend of all friends, a sweet peace where others see a storm and He will not forsake you.  So, we must not try to tell God how to help us, but to trust Him, because He knows, sees and hears what we do not.  Give Him time so that when He does work things out for you, you along with every witness can say, "God did it."

Trust God

He Has To Be Here

Hello Everyone,

We have experienced those many times when we acknowledge that God has worked something out for us, protected us and we know that He did it. But what about when people say that God can not be seen, but we know that he is there. Yes, absolutely, He is there, however, we do see Him, not physically, but His works are always revealed to us. He is visible in that sense, because, He did say that He would never leave us. There are people in the world, in our lives that may not have our best interest, may be plotting for us to fail and are making big efforts to set traps, but here is the fantastic part, God sees all of it, hears every conversation against you and knows the heart of those that despise and use you. So, He is always working on our behalf to make certain that His child, He keeps and protects. As we go through situations, it does not feel good at all, because people are relentless in their efforts to make us miserable, but, right there God stands watching and giving support. Although, we think we could not feel more awful, believe me, if the Lord was not there, it would be unbearable. In His time He will fix it. He knows what He is doing and why, once He makes His move, we will see. We must be patient and wait on God that way it does not look as though we did anything, no one can place blame on you, those outside and within the situation, even those that were working against you will know that God was in your corner and with Him, they can do nothing. He has to be here with us,
He said that He would.

Who Do You Know?

Hello Everyone,

You know that famous saying, "It is who you know."  Well, at times who you know can be an advantage and other times, it is better not to know certain people.  It can be a slippery slope with dropping names and using who you know to impress others, because those names you drop may not be the names that the one who you are telling admires.  If we can work on being  a self-made success through the name of Jesus, we all would be better off.  Then, you only have Jesus to thank and that is enough for Him.

There are so many people who are held to favors because someone did them a favor.  Some people find themselves regretting having ever done a favor for someone, and it all started with "Who you know."  The world of politics is very familiar with this dance and it makes for decisions that one would not ordinarily make, because, someone knew someone and that person did someone a favor now, someone owes another favor-ugh vertigo.  This is too much and it keeps one held to another favor.

Wouldn't it be grand to have someone do great things for you and in your best interest, never to hurt you, only to support and lift you without condition, and to keep doing this over and over again.  Does this sound too good to be true?  It is not, the only name that means everything is Jesus.  His name, you do not have to drop to get results.  You just have to know Him for yourself and He will exceed what any favor can do.  If we can just depend on Him, we can be self-made, because He already sees our placement and knows our heart and does not want us to be placed in a you scratch my back, I scratch your back situation.  So, together, let's begin to rely on Jesus and create a stronger relationship with Him and know Him and let Him control our situations.  So, in our hearts, in the face of anything, we can say, "I know Jesus, He has got this."

From Struggle To Victory

Hello Everyone,

Just checking in with you to share a short story inspired by a friend.  Last evening, I was speaking with a dear friend and he said "In the world today so many people are struggling, but the struggles lead to victory."  So, he continued on and I listened as he spoke about certain things being symbolic of the struggle while the same symbol represents victory.   I gleaned from this that in our struggles of life we have to hold on to faith and know that on the other side of struggle is victory.

In today's economic climate, courts are back logged with divorce cases, finances in bank accounts are dwindling, job loss is hard hitting and job hunts are brutal.  There are many that are feeling the effects of stress due to worry about their current state of affairs and can not see a doctor, because there is no health insurance.  People are walking around feeling bad, sad, and broke, but even in the midst of it all, the struggles, you can have victory.   You have to believe and possibly have something to remind you that you are on your way to victory.  For me, I wear crosses, it can be a necklace, ring or bracelet, but it is my symbol to keep in faith and remind me that in the midst of trials God has me.

In all of the noise that the world makes, focus is important so that you will not be caught up in lamenting over your circumstance, but thank God in advance for what is to come and thank Him where you are for what He has done by keeping you everyday, even if you are still in your situation, hope will sustain you and bring peace and patience.  One day, it will just ease up on you, days will get better and brighter right in the struggle, your worries will diminish, then you will be able to look forward to the next day and the next anxious about what good it will bring, and you still may be in the struggle.  God can turn it around and you will smile just because you are confident that God is right there with you, walking, watching, speaking and loving.
