Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure
Me: Promise You won't get mad
God: I promise
Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late
God: Yes
Me: My car took forever to start
God: Okay
Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait
God: Huummm
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call
God: All right
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that
Me (humbled): OH
GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.
Me (embarrassed):Okay
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me (softly): I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I'm Sorry God
God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.
Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.
God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...
Be grateful at all times ... he knows what he is doing ♥️
I had one of those days this week–everything went wrong and 3 things in the household broke down. Then it hit me why, I had a thought deep in the back of my head, a fear, a lie, that He wanted wanted me to confess and work thru.
Strengthened my trust (a major issue in my life) and brought such a feeling of peace and the sense of being known and cared for. Then boom, boom, boom, a bunch of wonderful things happened. So I see Him and His glory, He knows me and I know Him, relationship is so sweet.
Amen! In my early years felt religion was like a snake oil salesman. Recently I have joined a church. I'm a broken vessel and working towards fixing it up.
The bad news is you fan never fix it. The good news is Christ died and rose again so you dont have to. Now heres the really good news, when you realize those two things, Christ will transform your heart and while you wont be fixed youll find yourself seeking to do and say the things that are good and righteous more naturally because it is God who has changed you.
I'm not too fond of "religion", actually. For me, it's all about the relationships–the connections I have with my Creator God, my family, my church family, my neighbors, people I see thru out the week, strangers I meet. Also, this forum (here I also feel accepted, a part of, joined, encouraged, joy, purpose). How I treat other people in my life is more important to me than following rules and rituals.
Same here Fren, same here!

A setback may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Very good.
Nice, thank you
:)
Amen.
