The main reason I don't write that often anymore is I feel as though you may get tired of reading the same thing over and over again. So, I try to write when I feel I have something new to say. To be honest many times lately I just feel compelled to write. Take tonight I had no intention of writing this entry and yet, the lord told me to.
I must confess I have been having a rough time in my walk lately. Mostly I have a lot of resentment towards situations happening in my around me. Completely forgetting that God is in full control and knows what he is doing. Today God told me to get over it and move on. I realized I was getting bitter and have been very unhappy lately. When your bitter you only hurt yourself, no one else really cares. So, I have decided I like it much better when I am happy and I chose to get over it.
You know today I was speaking to someone who has a rough life. I know the were raised in the faith and someone very close to her has done her a disservice by judging her and giving her ungodly criticism. Since then she no longer walks in faith. I completely understand her hurts. When I heard the story I thought to my self, wow that person probably has no idea of what they have done or the consequences they may have caused.
I have some questions I want you all to think about and I will elaborate in the next entry.
Have you ever cried and had absolutely no idea why? Have you ever argued with yourself? Have you ever done something and not even realized it? Has something ever, just fallen in your lap? Have you ever just known that you know something? Why?
P.S. This entry doesn't make much sense to me either.
First of all, I can't speak for everyone who reads this, but I know for myself, I look forward to reading what God has laid on your heart and don't let Satan discourage you from writing! The Lord gave you this ministry and until he 'closes the door' keep writing. Every person who reads this does not 'comment' back to you, but I can guarantee you are touching one or more lives that you have no clue are even reading this. Your blogs often touch me and I have not endured what you have been through.
As for your questions, especially the "Why?" question... we will never know WHY God does some of the things that He does, but we are commanded to trust... "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways TRUST in Him and He will make your path straight." Proverbs 5:3. That is a command and a promise! Satan wants us to question God and bring doubt in our minds; don't let him steal your JOY. Remember, "God causes ALL things to work for good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28. It says "ALL", not some, not few... ALL! As much as it hurts that you lost your little girl, the Lord rejoices that one lil' angel was able to 'save' her mommy and daddy from the flames of hell! That's 'good'-- even though it's hard to swallow. In thinking about M.B., yes, Satan got to her and she took her life, but because she LOVED God, she was able to lead 8+ people to spend eternity with her and her Father... that is 'good'.
One other thing that God has laid on my heart is for you to be careful who you "allow" in... Satan wants your soul and will send people to you and make you think they are 'good' for you but don't be fooled! Surround your self with people who are strong in their faith and don't question God. IRON SHARPENS IRON. Proverbs 27:17.
I Love You Girl,
