"God's not out there."

<< < (2/6) > >>

Ninny:
This is so true...it has happened to me...I'm a person not afraid to speak when spoken to! I have a young male friend who sent me a message the other day telling me his sadness and depression over losing his girlfriend..and I answered his message the best way I knew how..He wrote me back very upset and said "I should have known better than to tell you that stuff...I should have known you wouldn't understand, no one does!"

So I wrote back and told him that God understands and He knows everything we go through..everything we go through is to bring us to be more like God! I told him I have gone through what he's going through, but more than my understanding or his...he has to know that God is moving and God's will for him and for me will be done!  He's very upset with me and hasn't answered my message, but I know that God will bring this understanding to him one day...I am amazed at the way God speaks to me through ME sometimes! When He gives me words to say to someone else they're ALWAYS more for me than the other guy!!

Sometimes my heart breaks for people, whether I know them or not...I just want to tell them to look at God in a different way! See that God put everything in motion in our lives. in all of our lives...nothing surprises, shocks, or catches Him off guard!! People are made to think that God is just standing helplessly by watching the world swing out of control, He has no control over us because we are free to choose the course of our life!!!?? Really?!

Can I relate one more little story?  :D I have always been nervous about flying...so I don't unless I'm forced!! about 17 years ago my niece was getting ready to have her baby so I went to San Antonio TX to be with her...on the way of course it started storming!! yikes!! You could just see the lightening everywhere!!  there was a young soldier on the plane sitting next to me..I could tell he was really scared...I thought he was going to cry! I looked at him and said, "Wow! I hate flying!" he looked over at me and said really quietly, " So do I!"  I told him, "we'll be landing soon, I'll be glad to get out of this lightening!" He said, "Me too!" I could see him start to relax while we were talking and I felt a calm surround us..He even started smiling! I think right at that moment he was missing his mommy...and I guess I kind of filled in for her! and amazingly enough I even calmed down..same thing...God gave me a little project to keep me occupied until the storm had passed!! You just never know who you will meet in life...something as simple as just a voice in a storm can lift you up and let you know that God is there... chance encounters??  :)
Sorry if I got off the subject, Arc!

Kathy,

What you identify that when our God speaks through us it is for US!... MORE than for the other person..... is and has always been the case with me too! Every post, every comment and every thought has been my blessing to me, and I also believe, much more than maybe a few, who may think or have experienced differently! :D :) As women, we teach what we most need to learn! ;D :D ;D when it  comes to sharing or showing what we believe and pointing to the Teachings or Words of our God, then I believe that is not being a teacher but a sister or as a mother to those we are to encourage. Certainly, taking authority and dogmatically teaching, is not for us to do. My conversation was just like yours with the youth who approached you. We speak from our hearts and share what we believe.

Your Mother’s voice in the storm of that young man sitting next to you on the plane is just what our Lord gave you and to him, as His Work prepared for you both to enjoy and experience. That you too felt the calm of His Spirit that is Peace is evidence you were in the will of God as He has Purposed for you Kathy. That is a truly wonderful gift of God's Spirit to you and the young man in his experience of having fear banished in the presence of the Perfect Love that is our God.

I have only just recently begun to see that our voice ( the women folks) is to be just that, not leader of the troops, not manpower or swordsman, but mother, daughter and sister as our God is our God and our brothers in Christ do need us ~ that is our blessing, our gift and place so eloquently described as you sitting next to that young man on an airplane in a lightning storm.

Blessings dear mother and sister

Gals, great thoughts!!

PS--I was petrified of flying so I didn't!!! for 35 years!!  When I discovered these truths about God's sovereignty, it melted away those fears and I have flown 3 times now and for the biggy--flying to Hawaii in February!!!  What freedom to know that God is in Control!!!
