God is so faithful. Things come & go and people walk out of your life, but He stays. He always stays. He has always been there. True love!

@WeighedDown well did you have a chance to know Him ,but rejected it ?
but then when it was convenient for you ,then you wanted His attention ?
And I am not mocking you and I do understand people who say that ,I was one of them too ,until I looked back and seen I was wrong .
When I lost everything for the 3rd time ,wife ,home ,business and ended up on the streets ,I said the same thing ...where was God?
but now 23 yrs later and looking back ,,He was there all along ,I'm not dead
And He turned my life around ,,but at the time ,I thought He failed me
But since 1994 my life is ever changing ,and I am glad I lost the things I lost .
Now I owe no one ,I am in debt to no one ,and my kids that had been taken from me God gave them back to me ,and they love and respect me ,all they have known of me is a Godly man ,they never knew the addict me ,
So His timing ,not mine was key to my success ,I was not ready for the things I was asking for .
He needed to get my attention ,and get me ready to receive first ,
(and you do know God won't tamper with the free will of others ,like making a wife come back ,or stop a baby from being born just because a girl repents .and stuff like that ,but He can make the lame walk ,I am living proof of that .
I was a take no crap from anyone man ,very cocky ,very arrogant ,the last thing I needed was God ,I preferred
the mess your world up if you crossed me me ,the bitter cry baby with a sad story that still makes some cry when I share I do understand ,I was there too .
But ,,Did He call and you rejected Him?
Is your life one ready to serve ?can you forgive when you feel no one has ever forgiven you ?
Not only did He allow me to lose all my stuff ,He allowed my health and ability to walk and work to be taken from me too .so I was in a very scary position and helpless the first time in my life ,and I blamed God
But you do a lot of reflecting when you can't walk ,,,
Ever stop to think ,He's not done with you yet ?
This is a promise ,"Seek ye first ,the kingdom of God ,and all His righteousness
then everything you have need of ,He will give to you "
23 yrs ago I said that was BS ,,now I can swear by it ,I want for nothing
and I am surrounded by not only people that would help me in a moments notice
some maybe would even die for me ,,I know they love me
In 1994 I was a drunkin addict who did not like myself and I hated God
Now I can say with pride ,,I am a born again son of God ..
And I am glad now He did things His way ,not the way I wanted it .
but you have to do it His way ,not yours anyway
So God is faithful ,,but not for the ones who only know Him when its for something they want ,
His ,the ones He had promised to be there for in our time of need
we know Him ,and we seek to do as He has asked of us to do .
I had to learn that the hard way ,its going to be His way no matter how long I make it take ,,I finally got it ,some never do
they go on through life saying God never done anything for them ,
They never listened to God either ,,when I repent ,I am a sinner in need of a Saviour could have changed it all ,He knows the intent of our hearts
I had to learn also ,God don't make deals ,,
I hope one day you can look back and see His wisdom too ,and He was not done with you

@WeighedDown I will ,when the day of the Lord comes
lets see can you pay for your sins all by yourself
I have faced a hard life too ,and God was not there
or so I thought ,and like you I spent $20.000.00 to walk again
and a little spur slammed me again
I have a disease eating my spine ,compliments of Uncle Sam
and 20 yrs of being treated like a drug addict for needing help with pain .
But now I have finally won that war ,now they ask how in the hell am I able to walk .
The same one who healed my kid of a bone disease that crippled her enables me to walk ,but my life has been no bed of roses .
But I can look back now and see Christ was there all alone ,,
But I was like you ,,,"I did it my damn self "
all I did was got in the way ,,once I got out of the way
I finally got my blessings
and Everything I lost was restored to me ...but now I see none of that is as important as all the sin I can never pay off on my own
I am glad Christ did that for me
Good luck trying to pay for yours on your own LOL
Pride always goes before a fall ,,a little spur can show you who is boss too
hard to show how bad ass you are when you can't walk
thats what it took to get my attention ,,,I was once like you
but I am done ,,,I am not here to convert you
you are the one who added your negative stuff to a ladies past who only wanted to be a blessing to others
Sorry about the "Book" ,it is a subject now that moves me
I have to work overtime to give a true praise report to counter all the negative lies from hell
God is with me meek ,the lowly and the broken in spirit ,not the proud and arrogant ,
but I get it ,this Sailor who sailed the sea' and saved lives
was once prideful and arrogant too ,but that damn little spur showed me who was stronger LOL I needed God ,,now I am thankful and saved
I am done ,you won't hear from me again

@rckt148 see @Mulder thats why you didn't get a miracle
it was something you could fix ,but you chose to lay it on God
and when He enabled you ,,you took credit for it
I did that too ..
Then something got my attention ,,a tiny spur that crippled my arm
Its still there ,,He enables me to live with it ,,
can't be one a doctor will remove cause they wont
He can't have me running around again saying I didn't need God
just a good surgeon ..the surgeon said I would be in a chair by 45
and there was nothing he could do to stop it ,,and no competent doctor would try to remove the spur in my shoulder ,,I won't heal ..its not worth the risk
But here I am at 60 still able to walk .work when I need to .
and Doctors asking me how
My MRI says I shouldn't be able to ,,
He has not healed me per say ,,He enables me
Making the impossible possible ,,,thats when He answers pray
Not when you can fix it "Your Damn Self " which you should have done to start with ,,,you apparently didn't need a miracle after all
