God's Mercy

what the devil meant for evil...Jesus will make it for our good! I'm so thankful for a loving, merciful and true God! When we mess up or make wrong or bad choices; I'm glad He still loves me and still gives me a chance, after chance, after chance! I've messed up many times and can see God's hand upon my life! He has given me many chances! I'm so grateful and thankful! I am nothing w/out Him! I thankful that He has a purpose for every little thing that goes on in our lives! He is changing us! When we face a situation w/ someone or something, it's not to change it or them! It's to change us!! I know it doesn't really seem or sound fair. Why am I the one that needs to be changing all the time. I didn't do anything wrong.. We must have constant change in our hearts though to grow. We learn, grow and mature spiritually in processes I think. I heard it preached Wed night about "Tend Your Garden!" I can look back on my life and see the processes in me. The dry times and the flourishing times. Everything we go for is for a reason. Yes, we make our own decisions and when we mess up we will have to face those consequences, but we can repent and pray for crop failure!! I'm so glad I've seen much crop failure in my life! I shouldn't be where I am!!! I shouldn't be who I am today!! It's all the Lord's workings! I'm no where near where I need to be, but I'm so glad how far He has brought me out from!! I believe He loves and cares for our every thought...all our needs...He says cast all your cares on to Him-1 Peter 5:7. I believe we can have peace and deliverance and comfort from Him alone; from the Holy Ghost!! I know we still have to face and deal with the product of what was planted, but I don't believe we have to live in torment from the devil! The devil likes to remind us of all that we used to be and all we've done wrong and torment us with it! I'm speaking of myself right now! Sometimes the devil will send a spirit on you and we need to be alert and ready to fight! We have to wear our armor daily!! Maybe, some don't need to, but I do! I want the Lord to stir me!

We are made only of dust and to the dust we will return. He knows we are only human. I'm not making excuses for our sin, but He knows nobody is perfect except himself. I'm glad that He is my Author and Finisher!! He knew me and formed me! He knows my every thought! He knows why I feel the way I do! He knows how to fix me! He knows how to show me things! He knows how to change me!! I don't want to have an ugly bitter attitude and countenance about me! I want to have that joy, peace and gladness about me!! I love how the Lord prunes us and shapes us to who He needs us to be! We face so much in this life and we need to be right with the Lord! I don't see how people make it w/out Him! I've only scratched the surface to who He is!

All I know is what He has done in my life! I may not have gotten everything I wanted! Things may not have worked out the way I thought they would, but they worked out like He needed it to be. I still have had to suffer heartache and such, but He is just! He is a mighty God! He is faithful, merciful and has never left me nor forsaken me! He knows just what I'm in need of and has provided just that! I know He sees all and is worthy! I'm just so glad!! I sometimes feel like I spiraling down and out of control in my spiritual life always. And, sometimes it's hard to tell if it's the devil or the Lord changing our direction! We must always surrender and stand on His Word! We must always do our part and be faithful to Him!! If we believe and trust and have faith-nothing is impossible with God!!!

I'm so glad that the Lord knows just how to fix us!! I feel like there is so much fixin' that needs to be done! I also believe too though, that the devil will make us focus on just ourselves, becoming selfish that all we pray about is ourselves--speaking from experience here! I'm so thankful for the Holy Ghost; to heed the unction! I don't ever want to quench the Holy Spirit!

He can and has moved mountains!!!

Praise be to God FOREVER!!
