Lately I've been blessed even though things are not going as I would want them. A rent check of mine bounced, OUCH!. I'm sure that we've all negotiated with God when we felt like He was distant from us. I was in tears for days every time I was alone. I told God, foolishly, that I felt like He had left my side and I even doubted that I wanted to serve Him anymore. I should never have doubted my God. Even during these tough times God has proved to me that He is there. I live in an apartment building that proves that God has a sense of humor as well. (God knows that I have to laugh and that I love seeing the absurd in things.) One of my neighbors is a small old woman who recently lost her son. She seems to know when I need some extra food even though I don't tell her. My next door neighbors the same thing. These people are all very dear and God is obviously using them to remind me just how blessed I really am. I think that we all need to take a few minutes and just sit back and notice all that God has done for you over the last 6 months or year. I swear that God will show you some things you had forgotten about. Please, if you need a prayer leave a post and I will pray for you. If you allow me to I will bring it to my church to pray for you but only if you give me permission. I just want to assure you that God has chosen you for some purpose. I have been praying for over a year for God to show me what to do to bring Him glory; It was in the midst of all that is going on now that I have felt moved to start this blog and to start a bible study in my apartment. I swear that you will get through whatever is going on in your life. Just remember that God is preparing you to take you to the next level so that you can serve Him better. Please, remember that no matter how dark that it may seem, if you're looking at the bottle of sleeping pills or just crying and feeling overwhelmed you need to know that God loves you and He has plans for you to serve your fellow man. If you are feeling helpless this is what I want you to do. Start by kneeling to God and saying a prayer "God help me" when said sincerely is a good start. God will hear you and He will answer you, be prepared you never know how your answer will come. Second, open up your Bible and read for just a few minutes. I believe that God will take that moment to help you. God loves all his children and just asks that we love Him in return. If you need prayer please ask.
God bless you,
Bruce
