--- Quote ---I asked God many years ago for a man like a Uncle I had. When, I was a little girl I thought he was like Jesus. Everytime, I was around him I was so happy.
I asked God for a man like him. He gave him to me. He was a great man of faith and did not go to church but read his Bible and spent time with God in private.

Jesus did that too. 

As I pasted this comment of yours Marlene, I felt like this Forum also does this for all of us. It is a gathering place for us in private, away from the prying blind eyes of the world outside! We too are in private right here together.

Let no one ever again make any one of us feel guilty or disobedient towards God for not gathering with them in their man made Church’s for we gather every time we open the Forum to read, participate and reflect on God and His Spirit right here in our midst as we discuss and meditate and are following our Lord as He leads us to green pastures and feeds us His flock – in private right here in this Forum. As Ray says, he is in Chruch every time he opens his Bible!

It is also wonderfully inspiring that Charles has been led to remind us to love one another as we are commanded by Christ to do. That one another is you and I and all the membership here in this Forum. We are the brethren of Christ.

Marlene, your husband sounds like a real Godly man and spiritual head of your house. What a Blessing. I think he would find much in common with my husband who is such a softy and generous man too. I am so blessed to be married to him because my bad traits he more than compensates for! I thank God for him.  Where I am frightened, he is fearless. Where I am uncertain, he is assured. When I am less, he is more.  God knew what I am like and gave me a husband to balance me out! He is strong and makes me strong.  When he has been weak, God shows through like sunshine shining through the rain.


--- Quote ---It was not easy. Now, I can have peace in adversity.
--- End quote ---

Personally I do not think I am fully at the place where I have peace in adversity yet. God is showing me, causing me and blessing me to keep leaning on Him for His Mercy and Pity. Once complete, the fullness of His Peace shall reward us all every time we experience adversity. Then adversity will loose its sting!  :)  Thank you for sharing your testimony of His gift showing you His Peace and assuring us of His Peace to you Marlene, by which my encouragement to Hope is strengthened. We all have felt His Peace and it is such a gift for us to one day to blessed to fully absorb and retain His Spirit His gifts and the fullness of His Presence. There is joy in that Hope isn't there! ;D


--- Quote ---I never, look at them against me. I know, they are blind just as I was. They are afraid to look at anything
--- End quote ---

That is wise as a dove to not take anything personally but to recognize the blind spirit in the offenses and persecutions that come against us. For we wrestle not with flesh and blood.

Like Kat, I also love that comment that inspires my memory of our dear brothers Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego!  Yes as they were physically bound and thrown into the furnace, so too do we spiritually follow right behind them to experience that God is our companion through all.


--- Quote ---God holds us up. God is holding Ray up. You already know he holds you up and you are lights for us. We can be lights to the world by them watching us be humble and enduring things that blow them away. Who, knows maybe watching us will make them want what we got. I believe in miracles for lost family members and the rest of the world.

Yes, I can acknowledge with gratitude, relief and joy,  that  God holds me up and He has always been the strength, compassion, pity and mercy that has been my personal rescue through the trials of His revealing to me the nature of my own faults that increase my dependency on Him.
 

--- Quote ---Its all in Gods time.
--- End quote ---

Yes and not only in God’s Time, but His Plan, Purpose and Will assuring us of His Mercy Pity and Goodness that will not leave us abandoned, vulnerable and not knowing God.  On the contrary, though we remain scattered, God is spiritually drawing us together in His Spirit and Truth.
