At the gate of patience there is no crowding.
Moroccan proverb
You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.
Luke 1:45 NLT
This simple statement found in the Book of Luke is short but profound. In it can be found the keys to salvation, healing, prosperity, and peace. The occasion for the statement that was made by Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, was when Mary the mother of Jesus came for a visit. They were both pregnant at the time and even though Elizabeth was much older than Mary they had much in common. How simple life can be when we believe that God can and will help us. Before I could experience spiritual salvation I had to know and understand what God said about it. Before I could receive healing from God, spiritual and physical, I had to know what God had promised me. Before I could experience prosperity from God I had to have a working knowledge of the principles involved. And before I could have peace in my life I had to learn and know how to turn situations over to God. I had to believe that what God said was true, and that it would work for me in my life. Much of my experience came by trial and error. When I attempted to do things on my own and many times failed, I eventually sought help from other sources. It was at this point that many pointed me in the direction of their own personal strength, a loving God. I am so grateful for the people who shared their experience, strength and hope with me so that I could understand more about God and come to my own conclusions. My conclusions were that God could and would answer my simple prayers for help if I believed they would be answered. I am amazed at how just a tiny doubt can make void much belief. When it comes to God it all starts at faith and grows and develops from there. God has given me a wonderful garden in my life that has sprung out of seeds of belief. Believing that With God, all things are possible, is where it started. The truth is that I was at a point of complete brokenness realizing that I could not do it on my own. I had to believe that God could help me, either that or die, and at that point of surrender help flooded in from all directions. I had to give up before I could go on, and God is still doing for me what I could not do for myself JRE
God could and would if He were sought. Alcoholics Anonymous page 60
The remarkable truth is that our choices matter, not just to us and our own destiny but, amazingly, to God Himself and the universe He rules.
Philip Yancey
Every decision that each of us makes has an influence on the universe. As long as we are alive and breathing our thoughts and actions are part of the makeup of the whole universe. Many time we never know the final outcome of something we have said or done. To think that I am just a small part with no effect on anyone else today, seems to be a self-centered, self-serving idea of myself. May I work at being less self-centered.
