Thank God for the good and the bad



I thank God for everything that He has allowed to take place in my life. There are some things that were purely my fault and I pursued and allowed those things to happen but in His great love and mercy for me He allowed me to pursue things and people (which is something He has never asked us to do) that should have never happened. But His Love is all that I could think off, His pursuit. God is such a gentleman, such a great teacher, leader but most of all Father. The greatest  Father we could ever put our hope and trust on. 

He will allow certain situations to take place in your life even if it hurts us and Him and our relationship with Him just so that we can get what we wanted end up empty, broken-hearted and see that it is not what we needed. It's not what He created for us it's not what He intended to happen.

God is always trying to protect us it's part of His love and fatherly nature. Correct me if I am wrong because I am not yet a parent, but I am a child with parents who, like God, want what's best for me. Even if that means saying no and taking certain things away from me that might harm me or not be doing me any good. Because of their love for me, they do what they can to protect me from harm and what they know that is not good for me because they know what the outcome can be like or the consequences. (They see a little further on the other side where we can't) 

Likewise with God, He always has our best interest for us so even in the hard and painful times we must trust Him. Before He formed us in our mothers womb He knew us, He predestined us, He had a plan and a purpose for our lives! How crazy is that?! That the very God almighty who created earth and the heavens thought about creating you and me?! It truly is unfathomable when I try to grasp or understand the true meaning that I am wanted, thought for, cared for, planned for, purposed for a perfect God Who makes all things perfect! He created us and He said we were good! He created us to be in relationship with Him and have dominion over the earth that He created. It is truly mind blowing knowing that God loved me before I knew Him or knew He existed, He knew how I would be, He knew my imperfections, my flaws, my shortcomings, my heart, my love for His people, my love for Him, He knew that as soon as He grabbed ahold of this crazy cuban young bitter lady (Lol I'll share my testimony one day) that He would turn my world and life completely upside down because I was crazy enough to believe Him and believe in Him and in Who He created me to be. That knowledge only came through getting to know Him deeper and deeper through His word. His living word in the bible! Yes the 2000+ year old book, so many stories, so many different people that God used to speak to generations and generations to. To change and transform lives like no one else ever could all for Him and His glory because of His great love for us.

Remember God loves you like no one else on this earth ever could so imagine that person that you have felt that love from being only a 10% of what Gods love is like.

Love, peace & Grace unto you,
