Again He proves that He is there to comfort. There were times that I so needed to hear, "coincidently" there will be something that I will stumble upon that speaks directly to me.
Received a mail from Lana yesterday.. This is what it says...
GOD ALWAYS ANSWERS PRAYERS
When the idea is not right God says, "No."
No - when the idea is not the best
No - when the idea is absolutely wrong
No - when though it may help you, it could create a problem for someone else.
When the time is not right God says, "Slow."
What a catastrophe it would be if God answers every prayer at the snap of your finger. Do you know what would happen? God would become your servant, not your master. Suddenly, God will be working for you instead of you working for Him.
Remember: God's delays are not God's denials. God's timing is perfect. Patience is what we need in prayer.
When you are not right God says, "Grow."
The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness
The cautious person must grow courage The timid person must grow in confidence
The dominating person must grow in sensitivity
The critical person must grow in tolerance
The negative person must grow in positive attitude
The pleasure-seeking person must grow in compassion for suffering people.
When everything is alright God says, "Go."
Then miracles happen:
A hopeless alcoholic is set free
A drug addict finds release
A doubter becomes as a child in his belief
Diseased tissue responf to treatment, and healing begins
The door to your dream suddenly swings open and there stands God saying, "Go!"
