This post is for those who still trust God when all hell is breaking loose…
This post is for those who call to tell me how good God is when they have lost everything and talking on a borrowed phone…
This post is for those who are staring at their prayer requests and none of them have been answered
This post is for those who can celebrate and rejoice in other people’s success and prosperity and accomplishments when that hasn't happened in their own lives.
This post is for those who can share out of a place of genuine happiness and joy for friends who are having a baby when they cannot seem to get pregnant at all or who have miscarried or lost a baby…
This post is for those who rejoice and celebrate when others find a wonderful spouse in life, even though they may be walking through divorce or have yet to even meet someone worthy of marriage…
This post is for those who can tell others how good God is while they are feeding their children from a food pantry every week…
This post is for those who tell others in one breath that they have cancer or are HIV positive and the very next breath tell them this. "I still trust God."
This post is for those who have walked through a level of betrayal in friendships they never imagined, walked through slander, malicious gossip and judgement, but still long to be a loyal and faithful friend to others in spite of that…
These things and so much more take a special kind of Faith and COURAGE!! Courage to believe the very BEST, hope for the best, offer God the Best even during the fight of our lives…
Before I continue let me say this…
You know…It is easy to love God and trust God and praise God when everything is soooo wonderful. When everything is Good…I mean Really good. When you are in a great position and profits are rolling in and a salary increase. Jobs and paychecks and bills are paid in full… And there is so much success in your business. It is so easy to tell the world how Good God is when we are kissing a husband who loves us and a fat checking account that is full and overflowing with money. It is easy to talk about the faithfulness of God when most of our days are spent shopping and cooking and baking and non stop house decorations. It is easy to overcome hardship or trials when you can pick up the phone and call some amazing loving parents. It is easy to tell another person that they "just need to Trust God" or "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" along with a million other little phrases, when you are NOT the one in the middle of the fight for your life.
But listen my friends: Eventually, you will see His hand at work in your life. You will see that He had your best interest at heart the whole time. You will see that when you FOCUS on Jesus…I didn’t say a prophet to give you a word….Everything will fall into place. ReFocus!! The problem is that we have replaced Jesus with titles of men…men of God, woman of God, prophet so and so, Pastors etc. It’s ok to look up to them for guidance, not Miracles. They is only ONE Miracle Maker and His name is Jesus!
