Just need to vent how about you?

No doubt I should be reading the E mails made available from Ray, so much understanding in them. Thanks Kat for putting them out there for all to read. :)
Loretta recalled something Dave had said in a prior post and shared that with us all, which when I read it blew me away and its this ( I don't try to conform my life to the Bible, but use it to understand what's happening in my life)
That one statement speaks volumes to me. ;)
Peace and love to all. :)

Ok Pierdut, we'll let you have your pity party for awhile. ;)
But not a day longer than the Lord wills! :)

Hi Pierdut
You said ( Why would I care about any of this if it were not about me and my life? ) I’m not sure about that statement, To me its about God and what He’s doing, in my life, God does not love me because I’m something special on my own but only because He chooses to love me.
The entire universe proceeds from our Creator, God does not need me, there is nothing I can possibly do for God, there is nothing I can give God, he owns the thousand cattle on the hill he owns everything.
Guess what I’m trying to say is, its all about God , its about Gods love for us, its about Gods forgiveness towards us through Christ, its about what God is doing for us not what we are doing for Him.
All of us have to go through what God wants us to go through, I once heard that God sees us as we will be, not as we are, not sure how true that is. Maybe we human being who were created in vanity should remember God made us this way for a grand purpose and the outcome would not be so grand if God made us any other way.
Its better if one does not question God, for His understanding surpasses all understanding. I guess God can cause one to see their cup as half full or half empty but its all for a grand purpose and a beautiful ending for every human being that ever was ,is and will be till His 2nd coming.
No matter how cloudy the day may be , above the clouds is pure sunshine my friend and God is going to get us there , everyone of us. :)
Peace and love to all

That wasn't intended as any kind of a "pity party," I was just being blunt. If the bible had nothing in it for you, why care about it? It'd be like going to work everyday for someone else, he gets your paycheck but you do all the work. Would you still go to work? No, of course not.
