God Is So GOOD!

OK, so it's been awhile. I cannot even describe the joy that fills me. I have seen God show up in a way like never before. He is gentle, loving, patient, and kind teacher. I have always stayed busy, so that I didn't have to think about the things in my life good or bad. This past year all that has changed, because I didn't have anything to keep me busy. It's amazing what God can show you when you slow down and can hear Him. I feel like the body of Christ, is preparing for something. I keep getting the scripture: "Be of sober spirit, be on alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1Peter 5:8. In my heart God gives me as much as I can handle for that moment, and then we move on. I am happier now in my walk with God, with my family, with my life in general than I have ever been. I fight the devil some days, but when you realize that the devil uses thought to control you, you can cast them down. I had something I needed God to take care of, and in my mind I took this envelope, and I sealed it back up, and I handed it to Jesus. It appeared in His hand, for the exchange and then it was gone. I gave it to Jesus and it was gone. Nothing that the devil has to offer even comes close. The Holy Spirit has been teaching me to trust. No strings attached, just trust and see. Well I've seen and the Lord has been faithful. So now I feel the Holy Spirit, tugging for obedience. I am ready to do what He wants me to do no matter what. I am not obeying because I need God to do something. I am obeying because He got my attention, and lovingly is teaching me how. It's not about what God can do for me anymore. I just want to know, "Lord whatever You need from me I will do." I don't have to know what tomorrow holds because my Jesus will never leave me nor forsake me.
