That’s me having some fun and JOKING with God, lately! I’m so on to Him now, and I know that the way He brings us closer to Him is through tribulations, challenges, disappointments, pain, hurts, frustrations and LOTS OF SUFFERING. When we’re happy, and everything is going our way, we forget about God, but when the tough times come, oh my goodness, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE REMEMBER HIM. Then, we go running and asking for His help! I’m I right or wrong?
He even confirmed this through my meditation book, He and I, after I spent a few days agitated:
“If I (God) had another way of bringing you closer to Me than suffering, I would choose it.”
This was His sweet way of letting me know that He sees what I’m going through, but if there was another way of bringing me closer to Him, He would use it. What kind of a love is this?
Yesterday I asked my daughters to watch the Grammy Awards with me, but when we couldn’t find the full show on YouTube, we ended up watching clips and an interview with 21 Savage after he was released by immigration in the U.S. He got my attention with this very deep comment:
“I’ve been through so much in my life that I’ve learned to embrace the times that I’m down because they always build me up.”
Same here. The worst times in my life have been the best times for me because they’ve helped me become BETTER, STRONGER, WISER, BRAVER AND MORE TRUSTING IN GOD. My meditation book, Jesus Calling, really encouraged me today, written as if God is speaking to us:
“I want you to rely confidently on Me…I have already proved how trustworthy I am. Cast all your anxiety on Me because I care for you…Whatever you’re facing, I can help you handle it better. Seek to find Joy in this day I have made for you. I’ve hidden small treasures along your pathway. Search for them, and thank Me for each one you find.”
And today was filled with lots! I hung out with my kids at work with hubby, and it was such a beautiful day. After telling them a few times that we’re going by the supernatural rules where everything is possible with God, we passed a huge billboard with the word “SUPERNATURAL” pasted across it. I said, “See there, ordinary rules don’t apply to us!” We’re thinking only of the best, working only for the best and expecting only the best KNOWING GOD IS WORKING IN THE SUPERNATURAL REALM ON OUR BEHALF. Wink! Wink!
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
