@DanielsASJ Amen!!! Thank you for that wonderful video. I love singing praises to God and I know others do too. I have sung for the Lord for 50 years, singing what they call specials at church, many times, and I miss that. 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful post, sister, I love it. God loves to listen to the prayers of His children. The sweet smelling of fragrance is a testimony to how God to fill His Nose with the sweetness of our prayers.
@GodSpeed63 Amen, brother. And while God always listens to us, we should always stop and listen to him, as his words are full of blessed wisdom that we can find no other place in this world.
God rejoices over you, with love, and exultation with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
"The Lord your God is with you. He is a hero who saves you. He happily rejoices over you, renews you with his love, and celebrates over you with shouts of joy."
This verse is from theBook of Zephaniah,a prophet from the 7th century BC, who delivered a message of hope and restoration to the people of Judah.
And that's why God's love and power, brings healing, renewal, and hope to those who are broken or shattered. I know there were times when I felt absolutely devastated, yet God never failed to see me through, when I called on him. That is why he is called our Hope, Help, and Redeemer. He's about restoring lives. He makes us new every morning. Our "end" is actually when we can give everything over to God, so He can do a new work in us and give us a new beginning. He's the only one that can do that for us and I praise God for that. I couldn't do this life without him. What a beautiful guide and friend he has been to me. He has rescued me many times and he'll do the same for you and whomever comes to him. That's one of his promises to you and I know after 52 years of knowing him, he never breaks a promise. His mercies are new every morning. Jeremiah 3:22-23
"For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord." Jeremiah 30:17
@LadyGrace I really needed this today. I have a heavy heart and have been grieving. I’ve been praying and pleading with God to heal my brokenness and my sadness and give me the strength and courage to go on
I also asked him to send me a sign and I do believe that that’s what this was
@DeluxedEdition I mean it when I say I love you dear heart and I have been keeping you in my prayers. I believe you'll be just fine but Rome wasn't built in a day. God will gently lead you through each step, so it's not so overwhelming.
He has definitely heard your prayers and I'm thankful that I could have even a part in that. God bless you, my dear. You'll be fine. There's never a prayer of yours that God has not heard, and he's working every day in the background, while you're keeping the faith.
Sometimes, other people's hearts have to change before the real miracle can happen in your life. There may be other things or other people involved, whose hearts need to be changed, before things can come together full circle. Sometimes we don't know who or what those things are, but I assure you, God does, and he's constantly working for your good and happiness, so just hang in there.
I call it God's Waiting Room, and in that waiting room, you would be surprised at how much you learn in that room. God teaches us so many things --- patience, perseverance, humbleness, and gratitude, in waiting for the Lord to bring us the victory. It's actually for our own good, in that it builds our faith. If everything was handed to us, there would be no joy or victory. No real growth in Christ.
God is always for us, not against us. The victory is so much sweeter when we practice patience and see our faith grow. That's the way it should be. A steady faith-filled journey...not rushed. Every single bit of it works for the good for those who love the Lord and I know you do and you're such a wonderful person. You may rest assured that God has his hand entwined with yours, as you walk together on this journey. He's not about to forget you or your request. The wait is always worth it. Weeping may come for a night, but Joy comes in the morning. God gives us tears to release the pain and cleans our hearts and spirit, of all the many hurts, as you give it over to Jesus. And remember. The man on top of the mountain, didn’t fall there. That's why the victory is so sweet when you reached the top.
Go through the steps right now that you must, and you shall be greatly rewarded, and then promoted to the next step in your journey, as you grow in Christ. I can testify that there was never a time -- no matter how deep the valley or how hard the pain -- that letting God lead, wasn't well worth it. God bless you, as He brings about a great work in you. 🌹
@Cigarguy Oh, dear heart, if only I could catch up and stay caught up as I'd love to do, but as I've mentioned a few times, there's so many people here, and I love each and every one of you so much, but with my health, it's an impossible feat. However, you're all in my heart every day, and I keep everyone here in prayer. A person just can't always do what they would like sometimes. I have things in my own life that take so much of my time. Sometimes I wish I was omnipresent like God so that I could spread myself to keep up with everyone. 🤭 but like right now, if I don't take care of my health, I won't be here at all and that takes a lot of time and effort, besides the fact that my sister is in the hospital in excruciating pain and may need an operation, which makes it very rough for her husband who is terminally ill and she's the one that always takes care of him, so now I'm not sure how that's going to work. But rest assured that I love you so much, and think of you often. I know it's not the same as writing, but given a ton of factors, I just can't keep up. I don't even come here that often anymore or write my articles as much anymore. If I do, I could lose my eyesight and I'm not going to risk that. Please take care of yourself and know that you're my darling friend that I love always. 🫂🙏❤ Big hugs You're precious. 😘 to you and the kids.
