Hi everyone
I would like to tell you all how wonderful our magnificent God really is. An unbelievable event happened to me the other day and I would like to share
it.
At our daily bible study at work my friend read this passage that really moved me deeply. It was 1PETER~ 3:12
FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE
ON THE RIGHTIOUS AND HIS EARS
ARE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CRY
I was thinking, perhaps God does not hear my cry because I am by no means righteous! The passage moved me so deeply that I shared it with my wife and mother in Law. It was constantly on my mind through out the night and into the next day. I was so sad wondering if He hears my cry. So much so that I wrote in my prayer journal.
" Father please show me that I am inline with your will. I am foolish and unwise. I cannot see your hand in my life. Shout to me my God! I cannot recognize your suddle ways." I wrote this in tears and pain. I waited and looked for Him to no avail all the next day at work. I was severely depressed and felt alone and abandoned when I got home. I decided to go to my room and turn on my computer and check in on this site. I then noticed a private message in my PM box from AllForJesus.It was a new guestbook entry. Upon opening it I almost fell out of my chair...It read
THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS AND HIS EARS ARE ATTENTIVE TO THEIR CRY~PSALM 35:15
How in the world!!! The very passage I was agonizing over was in my PM box sent to me by the first friend I made on here!!! I instantly was overcome with peace and joy knowing that my Father was indeed hearing my cries despite me lacking my own righteousness, He hears me because I have accepted Christ's righteousness in place of my own. For I am but a fool and unwise, He is all there is good in me and yet He took the time to touch me that day. How amazing is His Grace? I went from tears of depression to tears of joy and have been riding high ever since...
This must be the 8th or 9th time this sort of thing has happened to me. Through all I have been through, My wife having cancer, us losing our home, alchoholism, pain pill addition ( 30 vicodin a day), depression and anxiety. He has ALWAYS showed Himself in such unbelievable ways , that I would know without a doubt He is there. These little special events are events in which I can look back on and know without a doubt that He is who He says He is and He is there!!! Though these events carry no apologetic value, they are events that have cemented my faith in such a way that nothing can separate me from the Love of Christ. They are my moments that no one can devalue or take away no matter what storm I am enduring. "I LOVE YOU FATHER!"
