I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS CONVERSATION
With my daughter Ember’s friend Mo. He always encouraged Ember to think positively, and I asked him where God fit in with all this positive thinking. And this was his beautiful response (I paraphrase here): “MY FAITH IN GOD IS THE REASON WHY I CAN BE POSITIVE. Knowing God is with us, supporting and helping us fight battles. We must learn to let go and let God control what we can’t.” I would add that we just need to show up, do to the best of our abilities wherever God asks of us, being our most loving, excellent, and going the extra mile selves on His behalf. Then, we can expect His uncommon favor over our lives! Don’t stress; do your best! (Wink! Wink!)
I love how God finds all these sweet ways of letting me know His Presence is with me! Like yesterday evening, talking to Lillian at our office, she said, “IT IS WELL.” Honestly, hearing those words from her brought such comfort to me. YES, IT IS WELL!!! Fast forward to this morning; of all the billions of songs in the world, our cleaner walks by playing this very song, “IT IS WELL, IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.” That was again one of my God winks where everything lined up too perfectly to be an ordinary coincidence. It was God orchestrated just as another glimmer of His inviable Presence that is always with us.
This isn’t the first time this happened with Lillian. The last time she said that I had found my PURPOSE and the following day, I called one of our technicians I saw walking by, and unbelievably, of all songs in the world, he was playing this song Purpose by Justin Bieber that I was running around our home singing the day before. ‘Yes, Nik, this is your purpose!’ God seemed to have repeatedly been saying, with even a live reel of Justin Bieber singing this song live in concert appearing shortly after Lillian’s statement. See the INTIMATE LOVE AND ATTENTION God shows me! No coincidences! And that’s the awareness of His Presence that gives ME the faith to be positive, like Mo said, expecting the best from God! Even the bad that shows up, God has a way of even using that for our good! HEEHAW!!
Don’t miss out on all this GREAT loving from God! NOBODY WILL LOVE YOU BETTER!!! Make sure you have alone times with Him reading or listening to anything spiritual that brings you closer to Him. You will then begin to hear and know His voice and direction when you return to the world. OUR MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!!!
