God IS on your side

You know what?

God is very very forgiving! I know I always say this, but nature always has the perfect picture. Take chemicals and trash and what not... say I throw some toxic painty water in the grass... that area will probably die for a few weeks... but guess what? It always grows back! What a picture of sin and forgiveness... We sin, and it may hurt or even kill something good... but not foever! God has the power to RESTORE things.

My life has been one of loss...
I lost my mom to a heart attack when I was 14,
I lost my middle brother Kenny to Prescription drug abuse,
I've lost countless relationships I thought would be with me forever.
Now I am losing my dad to liver cancer...

Life really has some painful moments. But God told me, what I will call, a secret, today. Its found in Micah, and I've never understood it before, quite like this. Maybe you will catch the flow after you read this scripture. Micah 4:10

Pain has gripped you like a woman in childbirth.
10Writhe and groan like a woman in labor,
you people of Jerusalem,c
for now you must leave this city
to live in the open country.
You will soon be sent in exile
to distant Babylon.
But the LORD will rescue you there;
he will redeem you from the grip of your enemies.
11Now many nations have gathered against you.
“Let her be desecrated,” they say.
“Let us see the destruction of Jerusalem.d”
12But they do not know the LORD’s thoughts
or understand his plan.
These nations don’t know
that he is gathering them together
to be beaten and trampled
like sheaves of grain on a threshing floor.
13“Rise up and crush the nations, O Jerusalem!”e
says the LORD.
“For I will give you iron horns and bronze hooves,
so you can trample many nations to pieces.
You will present their stolen riches to the LORD,
their wealth to the LORD of all the earth.”

I just thought it was ironic, that I was praying for God's blessing to come on my life... No more drug losses, no more losses. It;s time for restoration, time for my own family. Time for life. God , please help me! All the things that have been taken away, is because I just don't understand HIS plan! I know, inside my Spirit, that there is something more, than I can even contain.

Dear Life,

Give me all you got! I want it, I need it! God, teach me to live above and beyond what I could ever imagine!

So, there you go! Live well, honoring the Lord Jesus. He is so worth the praise in good times and bad, because He's in charge and He's on your side!
