Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hi. I have been very busy so I have not been here except to listen to Ray's Audios, and I am thoroughly enjoying them. I do my work while I listen and I am learning alot.
I am still in our church with my husband. I still have not told him that I have been back here. It is hard sometimes not to feel so torn about it all, but this is where I am at for the time being. It is so nice to see those of you on facebook on a daily basis. I don't leave alot of comments for lack of time, but I do read many posts!
I stand in awe of God and His ways. He is so much greater than humans have made Him out to be. I watched a movie-the Ben Carson story. He was a brain surgeon who was the first to succesfully separate siamese twins connected at the head. It took him and a team of fifty or more doctors-heart people, brain people, and plastic surgery people-22 hours in the operating room to do this, and these twins are still alive today and they both live in Germany. Tell me, why would a man do everything within his power to save BOTH babies. This typeof twins had never both survived a separation before. Either one or both would not make it. But this man spent countless hours, reading books and devising a plan to save both of these babies, and then spent TWO days performing the operation with his whole team there as well for TWO days. Can you even imagine the pressure on him, the emotions over even performing this and being succesful? He could have said no-that he could not do it. But he didn't. Why, because he was a decent, caring man. And he wanted to save BOTH babies, not just one. And maybe give some hope to future families with the same kind of problems.
We call God the Great Physician. But that is not a physical connotation, but a spiritual. Everyone in Christian circles knows God did not come just to heal our physical bodies, but to heal us spiritually. If a decent caring man can do what I just described above, why can't God heal everyone of their spiritual diseases. God IS love-He is the epitome of what love is. This man did not love these babies like a father loves a child-but he knew the parents did. So he did this wonderful, great, emotionally and physically taxing thing for someone else who's life has no affect on his. Like I said-he could have just said no.
Now, God IS the father, and creator of the universe. He DOES love all of us. Would he not do everything in HIS power to save US? Of course He would!!
That movie spoke volumes to me about the amazing God that knows exactly what He is doing!! Praise Him!
Thanks for listening! Hope you ALL are well!
