I guess you've heard it many times before `If it wasn't for the Lord.....'. `If God wasn't on my side.....' . But I'm afraid you're going to hear it again, because the fact is if God didn't love me, if God wasn't by my side, if God was not there lifting me up each time I fell', I really don't know where I would be today.
On the weekend I was talking to a very special friend and her words really gave me a lift. "I am so proud of you, you have been so strong." Thank you Paulinne - it is great that people can see God working in me - but that's exactly what it is - GOD WORKING IN ME - why, BECAUSE HE LOVES ME.
I was out with lunch the other day, with a new friend and she was telling me her story, and again there were the words, `If I had not accepted the Lord as my Saviour, and allowed Him to take control', I'd hate to think where I'd be today. I have just finished reading the testimony of a woman, who in the grips of alcoholism, unemployment and physical abuse,' was able to say, "I always knew God had a better way for me." (Ready to Win Over Depression, Thelma Wells).
Have you ever stopped to think about all Jesus went through for you on calvary. I have - every time I feel pain or resentment. Oh the pain and resentment doesn't always go away, but it is a real help knowing that not only does Jesus understand what we are going through, but He did it,
BECAUSE HE LOVES US!!
