Revelation Commentary

Wanda:
Hi Wanda and Pamela and John etc. etc.

The thing that I choose to focus upon in this discussion is that God doesn't make mistakes and God doesn't fail in carrying out His will.
So IF you or I am one of the elect then it doesn't matter whether we cooperate fully with God or not. Our will power is not the crux of the matter.
It is not about us or what we do or how well we do it. If we miss the mark a little bit God will finish the job. God will finish His work in us!

So then, for the time being, in my own heart and mind, I am not concerned and don't worry over things that are in God's capable hands.

Great perspective Bob.

With age and God's truth, comes peace, joy and contintment. Who could ask for anything more.

a comment, if i may chime in.  within the past year, or so, i have come to accept that to be, is to be blessed.  it does not mean that our experience may not be without trouble.  an example, in the past five years i have lost my site (2014), developed severe GI issues (2015), lost part of my right foot (2016), severely fractured my left foot, ruptured my left achilles tendon, nearly lost my left foot due to a flesh eating bacteria (2017, and am still fighting to keep it), nearly died from critically low hemoglobin, and been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, likely a result of the activity dealing with the flesh eating bacteria (2018).  i have become isolated from family and friends over one thing or another, and have had my reputation in many spaces trashed.  within all of this, The Father's mercy abounds.  it strikes me that, if He has given us the breath of life, He will become all in all with us, and that means every body.  those that He designates for sonship have a special place in His economy, that is for certain.  it has nothing to do with us, it is all of Him, but whether we are so designated or not, to have been given the opportunity to be is such a blessing.  it will be unveiled, and when it is unveiled, all will bow at the dais of The Creator for His mercy, His compassion, His wisdom, His power...

Eph.3:16:17
I pray that out of His glorious riches He May strengthen you with power through His Spirit
In your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. and I pray that you
being rooted and established in Love, May have power together with all the Lords Holy people
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the Love of Christ and to know this Love that surpasses knowledge— that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Eph.6:24
Grace to all you Love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying Love.

Hi yello62,
That is an incredible story for a life experience that is full of a lot of stress. But this story as well as all of our stories has a good ending, nothing in this physical life has a really good ending. Only with the exception of the resurrection.
Your sir are a true brave hero - to hang in there with the strength you have. You have said well "The Father's mercy abounds"!!! It is all of Him - he puts us through so much in this fragile physical state. What you have been taught by this experience is breath taking. We are clay in His hands - all this so humbling in a healthy way! Look at the encouraging words of Paul - here II Cor chapter 4:1~17.

Johnny,

I often times hesitate to tell folks my story because I don't want any misunderstanding.  As I tell folks, I don't want to under emphasize the difficulty, because I do not want to diminish that which The Father is doing, nor do I want to over emphasize the difficulty, because I do not want make things worse than they are and put the emphasis on me.  They are bad, to be certain, but this experience is intentional, for me, and for those around me.  We have been designated, and my place in His economy requires this to occur.  Trust me when I tell you that I have been pressed during this, but, He has always provided that which is sufficient to endure.  I am grateful for the mercy that has been extended, and look forward to the time when we are no longer in the corruptible...  MAN, do I look forward to that time :).
