"For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people." - 1 Samuel 12:22
During the course of this week, I have had over ten people from my past resurrect from out of nowhere. It is amazing that different people from all walks of life have re-entered my life. I have experienced sheer joy from being reconnected to these precious people because I know nothing takes place by accident. These occurences have been God-incidents! To think, after two weeks of being assaulted by the devil, who hates my soul; God has sent a host of well-wishers, friends, and acquaintances to show me some love. The enemy tries to convince us that God has forsaken us or that God does not really love us. But Jesus is forever faithful; He loves you enough to reach down in your corner of the world and perform small miracle every day just to let you know He is present and loves you.
The scripture says that God is pleased to make you his. The Lord knows how to love you better than any family member or friend, but He shows you his love through the people he places in your life. For every negative word any one ever spoke over your life, for every deceitful lie ever told to you, for every act of betrayal or hurt, God has designed someone to show you His love, to speak His truth, to act with care because he takes pleasure in you, your life, your happiness.
No matter how much the enemy has tried to convince you that you are unworthy, God is in love with you.
Focus
Thank God for the people he has put in your life.
Ask God to reveal to you the way that He sees you so you don't fall prey to the enemy's lies.
Pray for God to show you the people He has put you here to love on.
Praise God for His supernatural love for you.
Ask God to help you forgive those who have not known Him and did not know how to love you.
Thank God for never leaving you nor forsaking you.
Do you a random act of love for someone who doesn't deserve it.
Ask God to see others the way He sees them.
Remember
God loves every one of his children. Even those who may have been used by the devil to hurt you. So don't let bitterness arise in you, instead show them the love of God; they just might end up saved through your gesture.
Be Blessed!

Even though God has not fully shown why He sent these wonderful people back into my life, I know and trust that He has a purpose for them and me that is bigger than what I can see right now!
ReplyDeleteMir, you know that it has to be a GOD thing when you have been contacted by old friends from elementary school through college. I know that God had to inspire Cali Girl to find you because God had placed her on both of our minds. Let it be for HIS purpose!
ReplyDeleteBlessings are in store for you. Thanks for being obedient and doing this prayer journal.
