1 | God Question | John 1:18 | winningside | 163246 | ||
Hi Lionsheart, I am so very glad to hear that you have been serving God now for 10 years and so now that I know that, I can tell you the rest of my story, because you have been serving God long enough now not to get so discouraged. Well I sat in church for 12 years without getting the grasp of anything. I struggled and struggled and could not figure out why I couldn't figure God out or myself for that matter. But in my 12th year, it's like God made it all clear to me in one night. I was sitting in church dreading even being there the start with and in a bad mood, as usual and before the preaching even started, the preacher just opened his mouth, before the first word came out God hit me. I can not explain it, but I knew God was with me. In that moment he took away doubt, fear, unworthiness, etc etc etc. It was a night that God took it all from me and my life has not been the same since then. Before that night, I could not even say that God loved me, because I was so unworthly, God's timing, not mine. That was over 3 years ago and I am so so very thankful for not getting the "easy road" I am use to having to struggle for every little thing and God knew that about me and it has only made me stronger. I can not figure God out. Everytime I think I have a little bit of grasp on life, God turns around and shows me something new. God is so far past figuring out. Thank God. I am so excited for you, because you are hanging on, you are not giving up the fight and God will reveal himself to you and it will be such a blessing. God does not leave you to your own self and your own understanding. He far surpasses anything we can think or imagine and he has great things in store for you because you are not just taking up space sitting in a church, you are searching, and the word says, when you seek, you will find. Bless you and let us know what God is doing in your life. I am eager to see what God is going to do for you!!!!!!!!!!! winningside |

Goodmorning brother, God has been ddoing great things for me my whole life.It juist took me 43 years to figure it out and admit that it wasnt about me but about God. I had to swallow a lot of pride and admit that I didnt have a relationship with God. Jeremiah 29:11 has been big for me over the years.I'll say this,God has a taylor made plan for each and every one of us. If any man or woman has a heart to go after God they will find him.Acts 17:26,27. I dont know that there is an easy road for any of us,look at the road you traveled to get where you are today,not so easy was it? I know the one I was travelling was about as hard as it could get.I know there are other brothers and sisters here on the forum that will testify likewise. One thing I've learned over the years is that our joy and confidence in God are not dependant on the circumstances. Look at some of Paul's epistles, they were written while he was chained to a wall inside a roman prison. If anyone had reason to be desperate Paul did.But look at his heart, he didnt alow circumstances to take his focus off of God. It's no different for us today. I'm a meat and potato's kind a guy not too complicated, I try to see things through the eyes and heart of God,that way I dont muc it up so bad. Just remember Colossians 1:27 it's Christ in you the hope of glory. Stand strong in him winningside, lionheart |
