Happy Thursday Everyone. 😀
Several years ago I wrote about a person who had threatened to make my life unhappy – miserable. I prayed to the Lord for help and I felt Him answer that He would fight for me. I believed that He would, but as time passed, I became anxious and started to have reservations. True faith includes belief, trust and having all confidence in God’s ability to provide. But, at one point in my life it was particularly hard for me because I considered myself an Alpha Dog (wanted to regulate things my way). Sure I believed that the Lord was in control, but I struggled because I felt better when things depended on me. But when it came down to waiting on the Lord after I prayed, trusting that He would do it all in His perfect timing, it was hard for me to not panic a little bit.
Beloved, little did I realize I was growing in my faith. When we grow in our faith it’s painful – especially when we’re impatient, or want things done our way or on our time table. 😀 That’s because waiting and trusting teaches us to rely more on the Lord and less on ourselves. The Lord answered my prayers and delivered me from that horrible situation. That’s because I relinquished my Alpha Dog mentality and started trusting God to be the leader. Looking back, I can see that I wasn’t in control of anything in my life. The Lord has been fighting for me, and it’s the Lord who has delivered me, and it’s been the Lord in control the whole time. Amen? 😀 AAAmen. 😀
Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Have a blessed Thursday Everyone. 😀
