God Continues to Speak to Me...

I read a devo entitled "God Will Not Let You Break" - Thank you Jesus!

"...the worst kind of blasphemy is to think God is behind all your hurt and pain..."

"...It is true that the LORD chastens those He loves, but that chastening is only for a season and is not mean to hurt us. God is not the author of confusion in your life;..."

All I have to say is that the battle of the mind is a fierce one. And the fiery darts are simply paralysing, yet I have to choose to "hear the voice of TRUTH" rather than lies. I have to choose to read, praise, pray, listen, obey...there is always a choice between that which will build me up or that which will tear me down.

Thank you Jesus that "Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY cometh in the morning."!

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
