I am certainly praying for you and your family. If you have an opportunity please go to youtube and enter in Veronica Petrucci and Made it out Alive. She is a christian artist who attempted to suicide and fortunately was interrupted by her husband coming home. The song, Made it out Alive is her testimony of what happened.
I want to let you know, that you are God's creation, you are special, you are lovely and you are God's Girl. In Isaiah 61:3 it states: "To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." Give Him the ashes of your broken life and He gives you back beauty. Be blessed awesome woman of God.
This reminds me of a song and the chorus is: Make my heart your home, make my heart your home anytime that you want to move anytime at all you can make my heart your home. This reminds me that Jesus is not looking for the richest, most successful or even the prettiest or handsome person to dwell in. He wants to dwell in the heart of a person who is willing to let Him in. Thank you for reminding me that He loves me that He wants me to be open and available to Him. Thank you SRT. Be blessed ladies!
I will be praying for you. Be encouraged.
I am glad it helped you, it certainly brought about a great change.
Earlier this year I was asked to minister the word on Father's Day. My pastor also asked to minister on Father's day in 2013 as well. When I ministered this year it was different, you see I grew up with father who was a functional alcoholic. He wasn't a mean father and he was in the home, but he was still absent. Well, I thought I had gotten past all that, but while I ministered the word on Father's day this year, God spoke to me and said when you speak of your earthly father you only speak of the bad things he did. God ask me to write of list of all the positive things my daddy did in my life. I wrote them down and was surprised at how the good things outweighed the bad. While I was speaking, I began to tell everyone about the good things he did and right there at the pulpit I began to cry (I am not a crier normally) and something broke in me and I am so free now. I can call my earthly father daddy again. He passed away in 1980, but as I am writing this I am smiling to remembering the great times. I have a heavenly father who loves me enough to show me when I have missed the mark.
Thank you so much for reminding me today that I had pretty good earthly dad, but an AWESOME heavenly father.
Be blessed!
Thank you God for Your grace (unmerited favor) towards me!
I am achy and empty and ready to drink the living water. Thank you.
Thank you for reminding me think about all of the things God has brought me through. God you are my keeper and my helper and I thank you that you sent Jesus as not only my Savior, but to save the world. Be blessed ladies and have a God-filled day!
