God is once again showing me how His thoughts are not my thoughts nor His ways my ways. All in accordance to this scripture.
55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
He is also showing me how everything works together so things can happen according to His Will, and in His perfect timing and not our own.
Just before my Dad passed away God showed me something using a dragonfly as an example of our baptism in Christ, and how when we shed our earthly bodies we are given new heavenly bodies, and what we leave behind is nothing more than an empty shell. It brought me great comfort. I just hadn't felt ready to write about it until today. And there is a greater reason for it all.
My younger brother has for a long time been thinking that the Bible is nothing more than a fairy tale like all the others he's heard through his life. Just recently he has stated that he thinks there's a God, and he believes Jesus existed but he doesn't believe that Jesus was the son of God.
After hearing this I thought I needed to write Him a letter and try to point out some scriptures in the old testement to him in an attempt to prove to him that Jesus was the Son of God. I've been praying about what I should write to him, I thought I knew what it should be but I was way off in my own thinking, and was still waiting for the answer to if what I was thinking about writing him was right or not.
Just this morning I got a package from my younger brother in the mail. A Christmas present that arrived late, not late by Gods standards, but only by the worlds. It arrived in Gods perfect timing.
When I opened it I was in awe. It's a ceramic plaque and it has a pond scene with a dragonfly on it. Now I know what I must write to him. A simple thank you letter explaining in detail what God showed me with the dragon fly, and using scriptures to back it up. In order to show him why, and how much the gift he sent means so much to me.
I Thank The Lord for all that He is doing and continues to do, and pray that through all this my younger brothers eyes will be opened to accepting the truth about Jesus so that he will be saved.
God works in the most amazing ways!
