Words of Encouragement

[Extol]

Going through some old e-mails, found another great one.

God intended for you to go through the pain that you are now enduring, and therefore, I cannot give you a remedy to cure all of your ills. Not that you are asking me to do that, but you certainly are seeing some relief and direction in your life.
God has a plan for each of us. Even if God is not calling us as one of the chosen few in this life, He still has a plan for our life.  And there is nothing that I can do to change or alter that plan, nor is there anything that you can do differently from what has already been predetermined.
... Accept the "hand" that God has dealt you--I have.  I have no desire to change God's plan FOR MY LIFE. And you should have no desire to change what God has planned for you. And right now, God has planned for you to feel miserable and helpless.  This should cause you to cry out to God. So.....CRY OUT TO GOD!  I personally, cry out to God every single day.

Yes, this is an excellent reminder of how we should be viewing our life circumstances.  It is both sobering and encouraging.

How did this guy get inside my head?

Excellent one and very encouraging that we are where we are as part of His plan and even the bad stuff going on is part of His will and not a sign that He is not in control. That has been an issue for me and still is at times when I feel helpless with what is going on but God's truth brings comfort and I need to feel those things to come to an understanding of His truth.
