DON'T LET THE "U"
STOP YOU!
Job 1:21, 22 says, "And he said: naked I came from my mother's womb and naked I return there. The Lord gave, and The Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of The Lord. In this entire Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong".
Within "you" the "U" must be satisfied with knowing that there is a power greater than yourself. The reason why it's so important to know and trust this is because your creator has created you for His divine will and purpose (Romans 8: 28). We are holding on tightly to seeing defeat as the winning opposser. The enemy’s assignment is to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus said, "I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly" (St. John 10:10). This is where I want to begin. A few days ago, I pondered on the fact that I was married and had been for 25 years. With this thought in mind, my view became very clear that the desire to be fulfilled was heavy on me and my ultimate goal was to
complete myself with a husband and to get my lovely children back that I had almost lost to the system. Only with the help of a wonderful supporting family, my children and I had never been completely separated and they eventually ended up totally in my custody. So, my journey began. Daily I would prepare myself mentally to have enough courage to reach above the cut places, go beyond my boundaries and seek after wisdom greater than my own knowledge. Did I find pleasure in being rejected, denied, and accused of being a failure? No, I didn't, but was I to give up? No, I was not. Your trials come to make you strong. I was on a mission and giving up was no option. I was not capable of some unlawful deed to somehow make things work that would be bound to my past and who I am today. I was in Christ; a new creature old thing had passed away and all things were new (II Corinthians 5:1).
