Ah my friend George, I understand the loneliness and suffering and the building of Character is all part of our walk with the Lord and I'm loving this journey. My faith grows stronger every day. My days and nights are filled with talking to the Lord about everything, I think sometimes He might say" My child, will you be still a little While". I think about Him even when I am talking to others,
And as soon as I wake in the morning, I say " good morning Lord, thank you for another day to tell you how much I Love you, and it begins. I watch very little TV but I love music, so, sometimes we dance. Reading has always been my favourite thing to do, I used to read many different books and magazines. Unimportant stuff. Now I only read scripture and BT. I pray and have my cries of anguish every night, every night. Then, He gives me peace and my mind goes to the same place
It has been going for the past year. To the ocean. Every time I am with the Lord in my mind, I am
About five years old. I recognize myself, dark curly hair, big round eyes, I am wearing a little white dress and I am barefoot. Jesus and I are sitting on a big log, my feet don't Even touch the sand.
I take His big hand in my two little hands and I see the bob boo on His hand. I kiss it and hold His hand to my cheek and look up at Him. I cannot see His face but I can feel His smile. Then we go skip rocks, I tell Him "look Lord, five skips and He says " I only got three" , I know He's letting me win. He picks up a rock and puts it in my hand, it's that little white stone, and He says" put that in your pocket for later."He starts walking ahead of me up the sand dunes and I try to keep up.
I put my little foot prints in His big ones, but it's tiring and I fall down sometimes so I call Out to Him, Jesus, Jesus, He turns, goes down on one knee and I run, He grabs me and picks me up,
I wrap my arms around His neck so tight and say to Him, " please don't ever leave me" and I kiss His cheek. He carries me up over the sand dunes and we disappear. This is my comforter
every night. Lately my little sister has been showing up on the beach, she is two in my dreams and sick so I take her by the hand and guide her to Jesus, my sister was born with polio. My dream ends now with my baby sister sitting on Jesus lap, I feel happy about that.
I know the trials and tribulations can be fierce, I know I will be chastised, I know I will be hurt and
He gave me armour for those times, I just have to remember to take it out of the closet and put it on and keep it on, but I take it off when I go to the ocean. I don't think God wants me to be sad
All the time, He says rejoice, don't worry about anything, that's really hard to do, but I'm giving it my all. George, come on now, cheer up, our Father is a King, I say that out loud all the time.
I have to tell you something funny, my husband and I were painting tonight and he mentioned
How the world was changing for the worse, I said" don't worry about it, God is in charge".
He said " Well He's not doing a very good job", and as soon as it came out of his mouth, the
Power went out and it went pitch black for about two seconds and came right back on, haha, I said
Thankyou Jesus and my husband just walked away shaking his head. Serves him right, talking about God like that. Anyway , as you can tell, I am in one of my talking moods tonight, consider yourself lucky, My Lord God puts up with this while trying to teach me. I think there was a reason
The nuns wouldn't let me go to church with the rest of the class. God Bless Gods children everywhere as He tucks them in every night. 🙏🏼 Pamela
Dave in Tenn:
Joh 3:18 ...he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
So, what is this "judgement"?
Joh 3:19 `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil.
So, what is this "evil"?
It's an adjective that describes the works.

Thayer Definition:
1) full of labours, annoyances, hardships
1a) pressed and harassed by labours
1b) bringing toils, annoyances, perils; causing pain and trouble
She turned your word aside because she prefers her "darkness". She wouldn't even know it was darkness, but her words condemn her. You can't hate and love God at the same time.
Thanks be to God, however, because Joh 3:17 ...God does not dispatch His Son into the world that He should be judging the world, but that the world may be saved through Him." If you believe He did and He will, then you believe on His name.

Thanks everyone for your advise. George, my friend Beverly was given away by her father to an orphanage
When she was just a little girl, abused and unloved and then thrown out at 18.
She then married a man who beat her, put guns to her head , took her and her children out on dark highways and left them there plus unspeakable things, so yes unfortunately she is bitter, but you know what
When that man was dying she went to the hospital and forgave him. Porter, thank you for the scriptures on Love. My friend , Beverly, prefers to be in her house at this time now and
I help her husband who is 80, take care of her, doing housework, her feet, feedings, taking her out for fresh air, praying with her and so on,,I do not know how much more beneficial I can show her my love, but I am open to advise. I have watched many of my loved ones wither away to death
It was very difficult not knowing the truth at that time. I feel settled in my heart now, knowing
I made an honest effort of truth out of desperation to someone I love who is desperate to cling to the only belief she knows, so thanks to God and a fellowship friend, I am humbled by the whole experience. Today I got a call from my baby sister, the little one with polio in my dreams,
She has been suiscidal all her life, and today she wanted to know about God. We spoke for over an hour and by the end of our conversation she was laughing. She wants to know more. Great is Our God. Thankyou all for being gentle, this is not easy.🙏🏼God Bless You
PS. Thankyou Daveim a believer[/glow]

Your friend Beverley has had a rough life.
Her forgiveness of her abusive husband is an act of love.
I am sure that all on this Forum will be praying for your friend Beverley.
It is good that you laughed with your sister.
There is a lot going on in the world that we do not really fully understand.
It is good to know that He is The Saviour of All; and that death is not the end of life.
It is better to give than to receive; and He came to serve - and Commands us All to serve as He served others.
I recollect that Daniel waited three (3) weeks for an answer to his prayers - and although we are Commanded to pray that His Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven, I at times of pressing despair wish that prayers were answered more pressingly - as His Elect have His Spirit guiding them to pray correctly.
Warmest Regards.
George
Porter:
Good to hear Pamela. You're doing the best you can and sooner or later it will pay off, I just know it. :)
Mat_5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
1Pe 2:12 Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do evil, they may, by observing your good works, glorify God in a day of visitation.
