The Door

God wants you to trust him. He wants you to be a kindred spirit with whom he can share everything, someone he can trust with his heart and his reputation. In a good faith relationship there is no reserve, no doubt, no suspicion or criticismโ€”just good will and complete openness. Maybe that is one of the reasons God uses the marriage relationship to illustrate his relationship to the church.

God wants us to trust that he loves us above and beyond all things. And when bad things happen, like they did in the life of Job, we will give God the benefit of the doubt, believing โ€œthat all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purposeโ€ (๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐Ÿด:๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿด).

We donโ€™t get bitter at lifeโ€™s circumstance, depressed, or lose confidence in his loving care because we can trust that HE loves us and seeks our best. He is our closest friend.

God created us for the express purpose of becoming family (๐—˜๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐Ÿญ). He desires communion, a relationship of oneness. Jesus prayed that โ€œthey may be one, even as we are oneโ€ (๐—๐—ผ๐—ต๐—ป ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿณ:๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ). So this oneness is what Jesus came to establish. It is not just to cause us to stop sinning. So much of religion is focused on just trying to keep the law, or do good things, or keep the Sabbath, tithe, go to church, confess your sins, or read your Bible. Thatโ€™s pitiful religion. It is all shallow compared to cultivating a faith relationship with the Heavenly Father. What God is looking for is a relationship of faith. He wants you to come to a place like Job did when he heard that all his earthly treasures were stolen or destroyed leaving him suddenly with nothing, and yes, even when his entire family was killed: he fell on his face and worshipped God. Job knew God loved and cared for him. That faith relationship he shared with God was the most precious thing in his lifeโ€”above his wealth, health, wife, and children. Job knew he had a friend in God, that God had good will toward him, and that he had a purpose even when it was not apparent and seemed to contradict the circumstances. That is what a faith relationship looks like. Expect the best from God. Expect the best from your spouse. Be the best friend to God and everyone else, and you will be a rich person indeed.

My son passed in a fatal motorcycle accident in September. My finances took a nose dive. The goodness of Godโ€™s peace and comfort is ever present. At times it makes not a lick of sense how I am still standing accept for Gods power. I will worship Him and praise Him forever more. Thank you for all you do and share. God bless in Christ Jesus.. โœ๏ธ

Must tell you a testimony about our Father in Heaven..Feb, 20th my beloved Pomeranian passed away. I'm 76 and don't want another dog. Last month March I kept feeling some one telling me to get another dog. I said no, but it kept coming up, get another dog, I kept saying no. I finally said to the LORD. If you want me to get another dog, than you bring me a.other dog to my front door because I'm not going out to look for another dog. Oh and by the way LORD I also want a Shitsu. Well it's now May 18th, and a lady knocks on my door who lives 2 houses away and says,I heard your Pom, passed away and I was wondering if you would like to home another dog. I said no not really but she said well he's the cutest little Shitsu and I was hoping you'd take him in because you take really good care of animals. I allowed her to call her friend and bring the dog to see if we connected. She said she's on her way. As the first lady left I recalled what I had said to the LORD, well to sum this up I'm now the owner of a 5 months old Shitsu. I will never again disbelieve that our Father listens to what comes out of my mouth. I mean what I said to the LORD about bringing a dog to my front door I never expected that to ever happen. Our Father is Amazing. May good things like this happen to each and every one of you whose in Christ. Blessings people

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Wonderful and fearfully made. I stood at my kitchen window a few years ago frustrated why God".hadn't worked the miraculous in my friends and family as he had done in mine a few hours later standing at the window again. I got a audible answer. "Because you believed me'. When I got an audiotape from a friend who berated me into listening to it for 3 days. I eventually snapped at him and told he was an idiot and I would listen to his tape and prove that he was just believing rubbish. Within 10 minutes I knew we had to have been created. It was Ken Ham on the tape.

To regain self confidence I think that's where it all went wrong. I think back when I first lost my self confidence. All of the stars were aligned for me in my life and my self confidence is what changed my life

Just think one day we will be able to walk with him on the new earth and ask questions about the mysteries of our lives and get the exact truth about this or that...maybe he will even indulge us some little notions....can I see a real T-rex? "sure... look behind you!"
