Tammy thank you for all of the mail you put in my mail box.
Tammy hope today is good for you and all you want it to be.
Tammy you are very strong and yes God gives you strength
to do things us humans cannot do alone.
I am very proud of
you and happy you have friends that will help you.
It is never easy to take the first step toward making changes
in our lives when the enemy would love to keep us in our safe
place that is dark and gloomy. But it really is not a safe place
for we are miserable inside and afraid and fear we cannot make it
alone but Tammy we are never alone God is with us every step
of the way. The enemy loves to play with our emotions and tell us we are noboby
and cannot make it alone but see he is so wrong for God gives us his strength to succeed and make a fresh start. God will never forsake us his children and will make a way for all of his children to find happiness when they ask him for help.
When I say Happiness I am talking about not living in hell and pain day in and day out when life is so miserable. I know Tammy it is hard and scary too.
I know for years I lived with depression and thought of sucide for years and one day I said no to the enemy and get the hell away from me. I pick up the bible and have never gone a day unless I was somewhere I couldn't read it. Through studing Gods words of truth and listening to him as I read. I have I become stronger
and able to let go of all the things that were holding me back by staying in Gods words and getting to know him on a very personal level. Each day we are in this world it is hard and we need Gods words for breakfast to help fight the enemy each day of our lives here. Gods give us sufficient grace and strength to get through one day at a time. When I am in his words I can hear him speaking to me through the scriptures and helping me heal and grow stronger.
He gives me strength and teaches me to not be afraid and not to fear for he is in control of everything and everyone. It takes time to grow with God and to mature
in his words and this is something we will do until the day we die.
We are of sin and we cannot ever let go of God for this is when the enemy gets us is when we are down and trouble. The enemy knows so well our weakness and will always be trying to make us believe him, but when you stay in Gods words
he will give you discerment and you will be able to know if it is the enemy speaking to you or God. God will never stir you in the wrong direction.
The reason we all here suffer is because we are borne of sin and we have to work toward God each day to fight this world of pain and corruption.
We can enjoy some peace and joy here when we are doing what God wants for us to do and that is to be a servant to him and help all we can.
God gives us courage and strength and the wisdom to know how and what he wants us to do when we have given him our all and love with a heart like Jesus
has and always be of forgiveness and kindness to others. We do not have to live with the enemies but we should always pray for them.
It is hard to put in words what I am trying to say and all I can really say is Tammy I am here because Jesus died for my sins and he is very loving and does not want us to hurt and be sad for this breaks his heart for he knows very well the pain, they did it to him first. We are to be of cheer and joy and to be strong soldiers and to fight anyone who trys to kill who we are in Jesus Christ.
If anyone is of mean sayings and cruel then they cannot be of Jesus love for us children of Jesus are peacemakers. We only want what is the best for everyone even our enemies as we pray for them too. So what I am saying is that Jesus will see you trying Tammy and he will help you more each day as you grow stronger and stronger with the strength and courage you get from him.
When I knew I was getting closer to Jesus is when I could love and pray for my enemies that have hurt me so much. I can now pray for all of those who have hurt me and ask God to heal them and give them a loving and kind heart.
This was very hard to do to pray for the people who have caused me so much pain, tears, shame, hurt, etc.. but Jesus has filled my heart with love for all people. Jesus says in order to love others we must also know how to forgive and help all we can. So I pray always for Jesus to give me a heart of love, understanding and wisdom. I could not help anyone unitl I let go of my own anger and problems and dealt with them but it is a every day battle intil we die. It just gets easier being with God and letting him be in charge insted of me and when I feel I am sliping I go to God right away and pray. The closer we come to God the more the enemy will try to destroy us because he hates anything of Gods.
But I do know that with Gods help my life is better and I see my days full of happiness even though I may be in lots of pain I know soon God will heal me and
let me have more days of Sunshine and laughter. If I am having a really hard day I just rest and stay in Gods words and soon I am feeling better. It is hard to explain why we have to suffer so much but the only thing I do know is that here in this world Satan has lots of power but God will never let him kill one of his children. Satan may get us down and make us sick but when we cry out to God he hears us and will always come to help us fight the enemy.
God is true to his word and will never forsake us and will protect us his children but we have to go to him always.
God wants to be our first love and to be respected and as we grow more each day toward what his plan is for us do we see the big picture of what this life is really about. Much of life is a mystery but God does reveal to us what he wants us to know and see when he feels we are ready to know and understand. Just like he told Paul when Paul wanted to be rid of his pain and suffering and he said to him my grace is sufficient for you and what he was saying is I will give you the strength to get through these days and by relying upon his power.
Paul written many of his letters inside of a jail cell and suffer much but what Paul
learned during these very tuff times is what God wants all of us to see and know and believe in that he is in control always. God is Awesome and will always give us enough of grace to keep us alive and going.
So what I am learning more each day is that I have to die of myself, and my wants and needs of worldly things and become all I can for God.
Just like Paul said to die is gain and I am learning more each day what he meant when he wrote those words. We die of our human self and live for Gods glory and help all we can to know of Jesus. Our lives in so much trouble, pain and hell is our testimony to win others to Jesus Christ and so we all suffer to get where we are going to and that is Paradise with Our Heavenly Father.
So Yes I can honestly say I am happy for all I have been through for it has brought me much closer to God and who I am to be and his plan for me.
Tammy my son Ray brought back this figurine of Jesus in picture with me when he was in Brazil
and he was on a mission trip with college outreach program at the time. I just wanted a picture of me saying a prayer for all of my friends and this is why I have this figurine in my hand just for this picture because I usually just pray no matter where I am at I am always praying to God.
Love, Hugs and Prayers
