“THAT WAS AN AWFUL YEAR FOR US”
Was me to someone the other night who doesn’t understand why so many things seem to be going wrong with them. I told them about a terrible year we had some time ago and in looking back on it, it was great for us. We came through it with EXTREME FAITH in God because He showed up, and He showed off, like, “Who’s messing with my people?!?’ Let me tell ya, it was beautiful watching God in action. From the people showing up to help us, His wisdom, solutions, and guidance were all totally on point. My attitude now is, “If my God is with me, whom then shall I fear.” All the forces of evil in the world can’t touch me UNLESS God gave them the power to do so KNOWING that at the end, like this terrible year, it would be good for me.
So, all the trouble you may be going through right now, KNOW its from the hands of a loving Father who is concerned about your personal happiness. He corrects us. Ask Him to reveal the lessons He would have you to learn. That awful year led us to make lots of changes, and those adjustments have been excellent for us. God is always taking us to new, higher levels of living with Him – our own personal Promised Lands.
I loved what He said to me this morning in my appointment with Him:
“When you try to speak to Me of the past, I’ll place My hand over your mouth and you will hear words of tenderness and mercy that will melt your heart. You will thirst for a new life and be ready to run in search of it.”
And that’s where I felt He is calling us to be with others as well. To overlook 10,000 of their faults because He overlooks 20,000 of ours. Nobody’s perfect. I want us just showing up every day being the loving, genuine, kind, forgiving, and excellent people God Himself will have us to be, giving everyone mercy and grace the way God does for us.
The girls and I are off to church! They are starting a youth ministry to stream live the service on Facebook. Go, super daughters!!! I tell them how God has been so good to them that I want them asking God, “What can I render to you for your kindness to me?” Let’s all be God’s superheroes.
