God never gives up

Inside I did slowly change however and realised I had to get out of the marriage I was in – it was unhealthy for me and could only be negative for my daughter. So eventually, after another 4 years, I really did leave and tried to be my own person. I began to change even more after my separation; I became someone seeking to fill a huge void. I was suddenly financially responsible for my daughter and me, in the middle of an ugly separation, feeling an absolute failure. And to add to this I had huge responsibilities at work and incredible stress placed on me there.

My new partner was a dear friend who helped me make this transition. I loved him dearly and he filled the void to some degree. But he was of course only human and I soon realised that although I loved him dearly and much later we married, he was not the whole answer. He had his own past problems and even together I realised we had a very fragile future as we were both damaged. I truly believe God brought him into my life, however; that He intended us to find and help each other.

Strangely enough I found the answer in my workplace – another very unhappy place at this time of my life. Amongst the people I worked with there was a male colleague who was ‘different’ to all the others. He was gentle and humble spirit, quite a contrast to the spiteful and competitive culture of that particular company. He was of course a Born again Christian. What impressed me about him was his calmness amid absolute turmoil, his absolute honesty and reliability to complete his job – and his praise of God when he was complimented on his work. This man reported to me and I respected him hugely.

Although I knew he was a Christian, and I suppose he could tell I was lost, we didn’t actually talk about religion as it just wasn’t the culture we were working in. God did use him however to get my attention – it was as if he was shining a beacon on this man so I could not ignore the contrast he presented to my life. I wanted the same inner peace.

This scene was playing out in my work life at the same time as I was dealing with starting a new life with my daughter post separation and my new partner—a common story of bitter battles between the separated parents, lies and threats, probably one of the more dramatic examples of this situation!

It is really true that God is always with us even if we do have so many mistakes and sins. He will never left us from problems and struggles in life.He will always be a savior in every being in this world. Therefore, we must have the so called TRUST, FAITH and LOVE just for Him.

Hello Lanie, I heard a pastor in a sermon recently, and one of the things that spoke to me is when he said ‘nothting we do or could ever do’ can make God love us any more, and nothing we do or could ever do will make god love us any less, because of that I want to go out and be a servant to do Gods will and share with the lost Gods unconditional love in our lives and what the cross realy realy means.. Amen, be blessed. Paul

Hi Paul, God is really a wonderful name right and I know he was just waiting for us to come back in his arms. We must always remember that He is not counting on our sins beacuse we are his creations and we are mae by His image. He carry us when we are tired and when we are brokenhearted He is always close to us. We must go back to God, for He will throw the biggest party the heaven had ever seen for he is our PERFECT FATHER!!!Lanie

Dearest Sister Ilda, I’m so sorry to here what is happening in your life, and what your husband is doing to your mind, life sometimes hurts so much, and we wonder where God is in all this, but be assured he is there Ilda hurting along with you, he knows what you are going through and he knew you were going to have that baby, the bible says that God knew us before the creation of the world we are not mistakes my beloved, we are pre destined, your baby will be a beautiful baby, your husband is obviously not a christian, it’s tme to take a stand and go and join with some local church and fellowship with Christians, they will help you in the name of Jesus to give you and your baby what you both deserve love, friendship, relationship and a new beginning Amen, be blessed beloved and dont give up your faith it is now that you will grow strong and the devil will flee from you, praise God, your brother and friend in Christ Jesus..Paul x

One thing for sure is to not get rid of a miracle that God has givin you. That miracle is the beautiful baby in your stomach! Do not worry. God is helping you with your struggles and is with you. Let God love you and let him guide you. Give up all your fears and doubts so it can be in His hands. Just remind yourself that God knows EXACTLY what is happening.

XOXO
God Bless!

Dearest Beloved Desma, sometimes we may get frustrated and disalosioned with our lord, last year i went through hell I lost my mother and my wife in the same month, i felt i could not go on any more, i was clinging on to God with all my strenth, the devil thought he had other plans..he thought he had me he was laughing and taughting me...but I trusted the word of God that he would never leave me nor forsake me hebrews:13v5..there are no quick fixes, but know this God and our lord Jesus will take you through hell and out the other end...today I have a wonderfull ministery with the orphans in India, i have a loveing fellowship in the salvation army..and a women in my life that is God sent, I did not know Jesus 13 years ago, but I had a conversion like that of paul on the road to damascus, please dont give up on finding jesus, he’s there just ask him in, be blessed Beloved your friend in Christ Jesus...Paul
