Good morning Everyone!! I'm up early (this is really early for me ) chatting with my Seanie before he heads off to work. It's kinda difficult to post and chat with him online at the same time lol. But I know he enjoys the company.

Okay so this was the devotional I was gonna post LAST night but didn't get a chance to:

Trust God's Ways
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways... For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
~ Isaiah 55:8-9

Did you know a lack of understanding of how God does things can wear you out? If you don't understand His ways, you could end up fighting and resisting things, thinking they are an attack from the devil, when in reality they are an attempt by the Lord to work something good in your life.

You know God does not do bad things. But sometimes you may fail to realize that everything that feels bad to you is not necessarily bad for you. Reminding yourself that His ways are not your ways will help you trust Him even when your cirumstances are hard to understand.

As this busy day comes to a close, just put yourself in the hands of the almighty God... and rest in the knowledge that He is good and knows what's best.

I am rushing to go to church but I wanted to drop in and say I will answer all posts when I get home.

One thing I did want to mention, is that I chose the article I did for a reason.
So many of us here, and if you watch the conversations you can see that...many of you have been hurt by those you dearly trusted, and it has put a wedge between you and your Heavenly Father.
I found it interesting the question posed why forgive if forgiveness is not asked of you, for the person who wrongs you recognizes no wrong doing.
I think the answer is simple. If you hold on to the hurt and anger that was put upon you by anyone it does not hurt them, it hurts you.
We are made that pain and anger destroys and eats away at us and eventually clouds our relationship with God, so we are stuck in one place and cannot move forward or back. We are also made that love heals and suddenly opens our eyes and allows us to be a mighty instrument to God and our healing and the love that flows thru us heals others.
I can only urge anyone here today that is blocked and cannot move on to walk thru the fire no matter how painful you think it might be....plead with the Lord our God to take the anger and pain and fear and resentment from you and give it to Him once and for all...I truly can attest to the fact..when I gave up my sin of anger in freed me. I finally saw the hand of God in everything and knew I was no longer a victim but a conquerer.
For those of you that truly know what I am going thru on the home front in my personal life with work, you will attest to the fact I am living these words not pretending to forgive.
I ask everyone of you today to look in your hearts and really leave your anger throw it away give it up to God and experience a peace you have never known.
I love each and everyone of you with my whole heart.
And there are those who are not here that I love with my whole heart.
My prayer for today is that everyone of us reconcile our differences and let God show us true victory in following His perfect plan for us. My tears flow freely as healing waters sent by God and I ask that you to bathe in His healing waters because Jesus came to free us so we no longer are in bondage...won't you come today and break the bondage with me...lift up your hands in Praise and say take this from me Lord I truly forgive and ask forgiveness. I challenge you, the prize will be worth the race I know I ran it and I am standing at the finish line with a heart filled with the glorious glow of Gods love.
I wish I could hold each and every one of you in my arms
and let you look into my eyes to know what is in my heart. The eyes are the windows to our soul.
If you could look into mine you would know what I say is the truth God has given me to share with you.
I love you all with every bit of me Christ has put such a burning love in my heart for all of you that it is overwhelming.
In Christs Peace
G​

Hi everyone, I have something I wanted to share with you and ask for your prayers. This isn't about forgiveness but more about everyday struggles. I went to the doctor this last Fri. for a checkup and she decided to have me undergo a couple of tests. (Endoscopy and Colonoscopy) She is concerned that I may have Colon Cancer. Ever since I got home up until last night I've been going through the "poor me" pity party. Last night while doing my Bible reading I came across a scripture that has helped me a lot. I've been reading it quite a bit.

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

I feel now, that I can endure and God will see to it that I'll be ok. I doubt it will be easy, but I'll make it and I was wondering if perhaps you could say a little prayer for me. Thank you all so much for putting up with me.

Hi auntie marti *giggles* I know this wasn't for me but it really spoke to me.. I really needed to hear this.. thanks so much! It really touched, encouraged, and blessed me! Oh, and I love that verse!

Hi! It was written for whomever it needed to touch, and I'm glad it touched you! I seriously have that verse with me, when I am feeling worthless and ugly. Scripture is our best weaponery for facing the enemy.

Ya know. God is speaking to me big time...I need to stop running and listen. Twice since last night I have read Is. 64:8 about Him being the potter, and I am the clay..TWICE! The Zepheniah one really spoke to me too. THEN I get in my email Romans 12:2 about being transformed to HIS image! ALL the same vein! OK, Lord,I stop and listen. IF you have to throw me on the wheel and crush me again to make me a vessel of honor, I accept that. I know I am cracked and worn, and I am not very useful to you right now. SO Lord, do what you have to to transform me into your image!
