Name:

God has been doing phenomenal things in my life. I am no longer the person that I used to be; God has changed me. I have been made whole. I have been through the fire. There have been many days were things appeared to be down and very few days that looked good. God rescued me in the middle of my storm. When we call on God, he will answer us. However, there was a greater blessing in the mist of all of this. It was the relationship that He established between us. I have a real relationship with God now. Like any relationship there is a give and take. One thing I had to give was my time (there are other things but I won’t go there today). I had to take the time to study my word. That is how we get to know God; by studying his word. This Blogger shares the lessons that God has taught me.

The Story & Lessons of Jonah

-One interesting thing about God is that he will allow us to go through our issues. For three days and three nights, Jonah cried out to the Lord from the belly of the fish. Why did God allow Jonah to wait so long? Why did he not deliver him the very first day? God does things in his time and when He is ready to do them. He could have allowed Jonah to stay in the fish for a week or two. Far too often, we put ourselves in situations that we had no business in. Then when things start going wrong we want God to pull us out right away. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," God will allow you to go through your messes (Galatians 6:7). Thank God for his mercy, without it we would not be able to endure the outcomes to what we have sown. "Lord, thank you for your mercy and loving kindness."
