Bible Question (short): Thank you... |
Question (full): Thank you for your very personal and thought provoking response. It was not my intention to solicite answers but only opnions. I do realize that some secrets will not be revealed until Jesus returns. But in doing my studies, no matter what the subject, I am always directed back to what our purpose is in God's plan. I have never suffered the loss of a child and I can not begin to imagine the pain. But the loss of my father 4 years ago was a turning point in my life. My prayed faithfully and without ceasing for the healing of my father (he had lupus) and God's answer was no. I went through an angry period where I turned away from God. My father and I were very, very close and I always consulted him on major decisions. After that, I went through a weeding out process where I was separated from people I relied on (family and friends). Then I came to the point where I had no one to rely on but God. And that is exactly where He wanted me. I could not hear the voice of God as long as I was listening to others. When you hear that age old "everything happens for a reason" line, you just want to smack that person. But now I have come to know that that is true. Everything that has happened to me so far in my life has brought me to this point where I am now...humbly seeking the Lord for my part in His plan. Every since I made the leap of faith and answered my call to the ministry, every person that the Lord has led to me I have been able to minister to based on past experiences. Did I go through all that I did so I could be of service in God's kingdom? Was I placed in my mother's womb and given certain traits, abilities, inabilities, and shortcomings so that I could fall and be delivered so I could help others? At this point I believe the answer is yes. I am not making generalizations and saying that this is true for everybody. But I believe that God what God has allowed in my life has brought me to this point. Terry |
