Lots going on with so many of our friends and our family not bad, horrible, or even terrible. Just many attempts by the enemy to get us off track in our mood, thoughts, emotions, and actions.
Stand Firm, Pray, Worship, Thankful to God for all the blessings & trials in the life. God is good, faithful, loving, rescuer, provider, redeemer, & Savior.
Life is a journey & mine never ends I will praise & worship in heaven for eternity!
I am up praying for so many who are facing different trials in this season. I am facing some of the same trials I faced almost 12 years ago. I am praying and trying so much more faithful to stay tuned into the Father and looking to him to be Radiant Grace with comfort and keep mind in a healthy attitude of thankfulness for being a child of the Most High God. I do fail at this sometimes but I get back up and go for it again.
I look around and think of how without Jesus and the protection, grace, mercy, and boundless love from the Father I would be like some people who have no hope. This world will bring you down and destroy you if that is where you reside. The darkness cannot be your focus. You must focus on the LIGHT and love from the father. Then you will be able to stand and not be destroyed. Even though some may look at me or other around you and think whatever they have it great.
I can assure you we have trials, trouble and bad moods, bad days, bad moments, and yes even what some would call tragedy. We may even call it that but then we gather ourselves back up to the chest of the Savior and it changes our view and perspective. I may never know or understand why I have endured the many different things I have endured. I may never see or know the fruit of how I have affected a life. I can only know that God my Father keeps saving and loving on me and it has to have a purpose. And knowing that is good enough for me.
Even if I never the cool story or the ripple I help Him create. As long as I keep leaning in to listen to what the Father is saying and doing my best to be and do what the Father wants me to do. Then I can count it all Joy in Heaven for eternity when it will all come into very Perfect view and I will see and know why he asked the things he asked me do. Why I had to endure the pain, suffering, loss and trials of this earthly life.
I ask daily for this to be my heart, my view, my place I stay. I want to be a Kingdom Builder even if I don't really know who, how or what I helped do for God. I only care that I stay connected to my life source of God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit daily and sometimes moment by moment it is them I call on to be who they see me as. Not what the world, others, or even some days I see.
Praying for all the"things" that myself and others are dealing with. To remember we have to seek God and ask him to help us be clothed in the wardrobe God picked out not us.
Just the thoughts of a woman who often feels like a young girl searching for her way in life. God is my King, Deliver, & Mighty help in my time of need.
Always,
Sonya
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
1John 2:17
“So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.”
I heard a loud voice from the throne. It said, "Now God makes his home with people. He will live with them. They will be his people. And God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or sadness. There will be no more crying or pain. Things are no longer the way they used to be." He who was sitting on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down. You can trust these words. They are true." Revelation 21:3-5 NIRV
