I don't know about you, but I can stand and look at something and not even see it, and or read something
and I can go over it several times and still miss the mark. My brain probably is sleeping or to busy; so it's skimming over the material and not comprehending what I read and again I miss the mark.
Or what about this, sometimes we miss or overlook the "stuff" of life simply because we can't take it all in. And sometimes we don't see what's been there all along.
The HOLY SPIRIT initiates our intimate relationship with GOD JEHOVAH and then lives in all who respond in faith. He enables us to know HIM personally and to invite others to encounter HIM daily through HIS SPIRIT and the Scriptures. An invitation to know JESUS better is a great gift to receive and give.
I know it's hard to submit to Christ, and even harder to share when you first realize who you really are in Christ JESUS.
I remember the one thing for me to except gracefully was " I was called righteous". Me, "no-no not me, there's nothing worth about me to be righteous before the LORD JESUS" I would say. Now once I got into the WORD and excepted HIS gifts and promises, and started believing I was righteous before HIM, I cried and praised HIM at the same time. I can laugh about it now, but not back then.
Did you ever feel so bad about yourself, you couldn't even stand looking into a mirror? Will I did. But through the years I've been grateful that I took a chance on Jesus. What did I have to loose.
Any how we will some times face unexpected circumstances with loved ones and it's difficult, and sometimes we feel powerless in not being able to answer their questions "WHY?" In our desperation, we rifle through our thoughts in an attempt to at least ease their pain. But those who've been through deep waters of trial can attest that the silence of a friend is more golden than misspoken words, especially when the attempt to form answers, only produces more pain.
Times of suffering do reveal our level of dependency on God. But the journey through deep waters also becomes an opportunity for revelation and growth- for ourselves and others.
No-matter where you are at in your life, you are still special to God Jehovah. You don't have to change the way you are, HE loves you and WILL meet you right where your at. What does anyone have to loose?
Will take care my friends, MommaDee. (READ HEBREWS 10:16,17).
