Every circumstance or event in our lives,God uses to draw us to Him. As a child, I hid away in my room avoiding confrontations with my alchoholic father. I was alone and scared and I would cry out to God in pain. I had recieved a small white Bible from my church when I was baptized and it became my source of comfort and hope. I would read God's word and be amazed at how it spoke just to my special needs. It was as if God had titled each passage.... "Dear Sweet Denise".
These times in my room became a sweet "stealing away" to read love letters from the One who loved me first. It filled my heart with hope and I began to believe that I was created for a purpose. My purpose was to be in this beautiful,pure relationship with the God of the universe.
I began to notice how God was working in not only my life but the lives of those around me. I began to pray for others.
40 years have passed and the only thing that has changed in me besides the physical signs of aging is my deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus. It is sweeter and more fulfilling than anything else in my life. This spills over into all my other relationships and makes them richer and gratifying.
There is also a sense of peace that passes all human understanding. Do you have what i have described? If not,why? It is a free gift---------- Accept it and you will exchange a life of worry,restlessness and uncertainty for one of peace,joy,contentment and assurance that you are loved and have hope for the future.
Have you accepted the fact that the rough spot your in should be drawing you to God? Then, go to Him...... Jesus said,"I am the Way,The Life and the Truth. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Accept His words of Love. Read His Love Letters!!!! That is my simple prayer for you.

That was a beautiful entry Denise, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have come to see from my recent experience that God does just that, uses our rough spots to draw us closer to him. Not sure where we would be without his patience, truth, and faithfulness.
Thank you.
