Those of you who have spent time getting to know me realize my challenges and some of my strengths and yes even my weaknesses. I want to say something to you about my sustained strength. As a little girl I was shown a God who loved me so much that he would never ever leave me alone to deal with anything. I know a God who is passionate about His love for me, who never leaves me nor forsakes me, no matter what I do. I know a God who kept me at peace when destruction surrounded me. I love a God who shows me the important things. I respect a God who gives me peace which passes all understanding to keep my mind and soul on eternal grace. I admire a God who gave me the greatest gift ever to give..(His Son) I serve a Lord who gave the greatest gift ever to give.(His Life) I am thankful for a Lord who through all of my trials taught me that they can serve a huge purpose for me if I let them.. James chapter 1 and verse 1 says.."Consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds.. knowing full well that the testing of your patience develops perserverence" I think that is the first verse I ever memorized and it was easy to do.. I needed those words as I need many of Gods words.. Through everything I have been through these last few months.. I did lose site in some ways.. I saw the Christians in my community judge me and even ex in-laws pushed me away from God.. fact is.. God is not a God who wants His people judging and being critical of others.. It is the love of the Father that draws men to repentance, not the criticism of His children. I want to say to my God and Lord I love you and I thank you for always always being there for me when no human being was.
