God knows...

-

 When things are not allowed to happen, it's for our own good.  I don't know what's in my tomorrow, but God does.  And, He has ONLY good & what's BEST for me.  When trials do assail, He promises me that ALL things work together for the good.  That slamming door was obviously a huge NO.  I must trust Him on it.

I must COMPLETELY rely on His guidance & not on MY wants.  "My" ways are not His ways.  "My" thoughts are not His thoughts.  But, I strive daily in growing to have the mind of Christ.  Growing pains, learning curves, attacks from the enemy can be frustrating.  But, if I totally rely on "He who lives within me is greater than he that is within the world", then I will have peace with whatever door closes..... or simply, one that doesn't open.  God knows... period.

How NOT to Be Consumed with Queenly Disappointment

It happens.   You are standing there in the spotlight.   Grasping tightly the hand of the other girl.   Waiting. Waiting. Waiting for the emcee to puh-lease announce the first runner up.   Because you know…if your name is not announced, then YOU are the newly crowned queen of the pageant!   Then, it happens.   You hear YOUR name.   Sudden disappointment engulfs your whole being.   From the follicle of the hairs on your head to the tips of your beautifully sculptured toenails.   “Nooooooo!  My name was not to be called!” you scream silently in your head.   All the work you’ve done.   All the time you’ve put in.   All the emotion spent getting to that moment on stage….and it wasn’t meant to be.    Well, I have wonderful news for you, my sister –  all is not lost! Actually, NOTHING at all was lost, but a whole lot gained.  Take a look at the journey you traveled getting to that point. ...

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of "truth" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior (Eph. 2:8-9) (Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 10:9-10 & 13) (John 3:16), we have the Holy Spirit living in us. He is the Spirit of truth.  One part of this means that... we can know what "truth" is.  There is only ONE truth -- God's truth.  Outside of knowing God... we cannot know truth!  And in order to know God, we must know Jesus. (John 14:6)   >>> (John 14:16-17) - words of Jesus ... "...And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor (Holy Spirit) to be with you forever -- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SO, to know and see the " truth" of what is going on in our world... know Jesus. 💗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...
