My Friend Celia,
God is a mystery and we will never fully understand or know everything about him. Even in heaven, we will continually discover new facets of His love, grace, and character. And I am truly thankful that we don’t have God all figured out.
If we did, how bland and ordinary life would be. How utterly boring.
Living life with God is anything but boring. We, the CHOSEN, live an everyday adventure. It’s often scary, many times uncertain; we face seemingly insurmountable odds in our struggles, and fight against demons and every sort of evil.
But we live.
We live; fully-alive, 3D, full-color, spectacular, even supernatural lives.
I am an ordinary woman Celia, who has an ugly past, have hurt many, have felt pain just like you. But just like you I decided one day to seek God with an earnest heart. And I found Him.
Celia, you will never have answers to all of your questions, this side of heaven. And God is intentional to remain somewhat of a mystery to us mere mortals. That is what Faith is all about. Belief. Not science or religion.
Faith is more precious than gold and it is the only thing we possess as humans that we can offer to God. It is our love and relationship that we freely give and receive from God.
When we take that singular step of faith and earnestly believe, God will join us.
- And slowly, over time, you will discover you can face your past and live in triumph.
- You can forgive what you once through impossible to get over.
- You will find an authentic joy in your everyday living.
- You will see the miraculous.
- You will be astounded by His protection.
- You will see prayer answered in such an extravagant and unexpected way you will fall to your knees and weep.
- You will experience the supernatural.
- You will hear God speak to you, words of love, wisdom, direction and affirmation.
- Your fears will subside.
- Your insecurity fade.
- Your confidence rise.
- Your countenance change.
You will be transformed.
You will encounter the love of God and His presence that surrounds you in such a powerful way that you feel like you just touched heaven.
O Celia, say goodbye to your doubts, look at the people who love God and be assured. We are His trophies, living proof, that God is real, powerful, full of love and righteousness.
Today is the day Celia. Today is YOUR day. Decide now and forever, to step into the astonishing, amazing and eternal Kingdom of the Most High God. And live for
El Shaddai, God Almighty, and his reigning son, Jesus.
Be blessed my sister, Lynn
Celia, I also want to answer your question, Why do bad things happen to good people, in a future post. I’ve asked a pastor to help me with that one. I hope to share that with you in the near future. Thank you for sharing your heart, your honest thoughts and your life. It’s now up to you my friend.
Celia, the path toward faith is this. Belief, reading God’s Word, prayer and community. Remain faithful to reading your Daily Bible and praying in your prayer journal. Become a weekly attender in a Bible teaching, Holy Spirit filled church. That is the path I followed and it leads to love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The fruit of the Spirit.
It’s not complicated but it does require commitment and effort but living the abundant, believer’s life is OH SO WORTH IT.
Okay everyone, what have you experienced with Christ that has affirmed your faith? Now is the time to proclaim what God has done, is doing, in the lives of His children? Leave your praise, your story, your testimony in the comments and let our God receive great praise.
