From God With Love

<< < (3/3)

Wanda:
This is an example of the kind of experiences I've been having...

I was very much troubled by something concerning God, and I couldn't find rest in it. And then, quiet suddeny these words came to me...

You're the song. Of my heart
The dance of my joy
The contentment of my soul

You are the love of my need
strength of my fear
knowledge of my doubt

You're the conforter of my brockeness
The light of my darkness

You are ALL in ALL
And I am filled with enough

I found my rest, this was all I really needed.

I see with different eyes and hear with different ears. Everything within me is new.

God is Love!

Wanda:
I want to add this, because I think anytime we pass up an opportunity to praise the Mighty Glory of our God and Father, we are loosing BIG!

The encouragement, hope and comfort to our brothers and sisters,  is one of the ways we can follow Christ and keep his commandment to love one another.

These are changes I've experienced from this painfully long and relentless process...

I have peace for the first time in my life. I am truly content.

Romans 15:13

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

I have love in my heart for ALL.

Before God allowed me to see, I was in fear of the world at large, and justified my own hate.

John 15:9-13New International Version (NIV)

9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

I have learned the true gift of patients, which allieviates much stress and unhappiness.

Corinthians 13:4-5English Standard Version (ESV)

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[a]

Most importantly, I have learned to trust, which has been the most profound change within me. Giving up controll was a hard thing to overcome for a  complete controll freak, such as myself. Fear will do that to a person.

My trust in God has allowed me the miracle of relying on him for EVERYTHING trusting him,  in ALL.  What greater MERCY is there?

God says, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving kindness” (Jeremiah 31:3).

the Lord delights in those who fear [reverence] him, who put their hope in his unfailing love” (Psalms 147:11).

“…the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.” (Psalms 33:18)

God wants and needs us to trust him enough to know he will always do the right thing for us.  It's the gift of his loving kindness,  to each and everyone of us. He knows we need peace of mind to get through this physical experience.

John 14:27 ...

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

God changes lives...I saw that on a bumper sticker, and can honestly say I didn't know or feel this in my life.  Now I get it. I wonder if the person who was sharing, really knew just how or how much he can change lives.

Hi Wanda
Being that i am new to this forum and not familiar with the people here,I just want to say that your testimony was very encouraging to me ..I sometimes am a little to disconnected to the realities of peoples lives,which includes much suffering and angst,sadness ,anger and confusion ,so to hear of your walk is both encouraging and sobering. Thank you for sharing these trials and sorrows of your experience. I know that whatever we go through,we can be perfectly sure that our Lord is right there with us.
That is what is so uplifting about this life in the flesh,there is a tomorrow that is a promise of joy.
Mike( elkheart)

Wanda:
Thank you Mike,  I'm happy it was an encouragement to you. It's sad that we somtimes can't see he's with us, or worse, don't even turn to him until we've come out on the other side.
