I have things so heavy<br />on my heart sometimes but have no way to express them, so I think this might help.<br />And I hope it brings you joy.<br /><br />Tonight I was finally able to connect with another<br />Christian on a one on one basis, and feel passionate<br />about the Lord, and the work he has done in my life,<br />and in the lives of the people I love. <br />I was able to share with somebody that the Lord<br />brought my family to salvation through a false prophet, who<br />beleived and taught things that were not biblical. To<br />proclaim the Lord used that time, and that person, to<br />bring us to search for ourselves the truth that lies<br />in Jesus Christ- was absolutely refreshing, and a joy<br />to see the expressions that result from a conversation<br />like this, are beyond happiness for me! I loved being<br />able to say "The Lord does not desire for us to be<br />poor." and "The Lord finds favor on those who love<br />Him." and know i was in absolute truth, covered in the<br />blood of Jesus Himself.<br />The truth is God gives us only what we can handle, and the<br />people who believe that you have to be in poverty to feel the<br />way Jesus did are misled. God desires us to live abundantly,<br />but if we can't control ourselves and love money more than God<br />Himself, he won't allow us to have it. He only gives us what we<br />can handle.<br />I want to announce to the whole world that my Joy in<br />life and in Jesus has been restored, all in one<br />evening (I'm sure its actually from a series of events<br />that occured while I was oblivious to them) but to me,<br />its just one evening of restoration, healing and<br />forgiveness. Being able to praise the Lord in dance<br />tonight, was a breath of God-breathed fresh air to me,<br />I can't even begin to express how much I miss having<br />Jesus beside me as I praise him with my entire body,<br />mind and spirit. To God be the glory!</tt></pre><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17831446-112925424537082826?l=inthehandsofthepotter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12536015775337972783noreply@blogger.com0
