Bible Note: Greetings Ngop! Only God's timing is perfect! God prompts and we respond. I am also mindful that God is more than able to repair the damage to unity that so many well-meaning saints engage in! My prayer is that this Forum will continue to be an encouragment and source of blessings to others as it has been to me. I am not above misconduct, for at times "I" get in the way and my remarks are lacking the very thing that the Lord calls me to - love, compassion, patience, etc. BUT . . .this gives me hope and confidence: He promises: "They shall be My people, and I will be their God;and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them.I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me.I will rejoice over them to do them good and will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul." Jer 32:38-41 Also take note! "Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be uprooted." Mt 15:13 May the Lord bless you with His peace today, mommapbs |
