When the answer comes!
Good morning brothers and sisters. I have had a heavy heart. I have been praying! Not always understanding but still praying. See things go on in a persons life that they just don't discuss. Now I know the title says the answer comes but not what I expected. But I should have known that. No the answer is not complete but it is still the answer for now. I am just so thankful that my Lord and Savior took the time out for me. He will take the time out for you. And I have used this scripture before but it was what settled my thoughts, feelings and this weary soul. John 15:1-8. "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2- Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3- You are already clean because of the word which I have spoke to you. 4- Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5- I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6- If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7- If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8- By this My Father is glorified that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. See if I stay connected to my Lord and Savior, the complete answer will come. I am going through a pruning stage. He will cut out what is not necessary. But I am to stay connected. I am to bear fruit. I am to prepare. I am to teach. All the while, God is removing things that will not let me grow. This hurts. I want the answers right now. But I have to grow in Christ. This builds my faith in Him. This makes His ministry all the more stronger. This helps my testimony. This helps your testimony. Because as I grow in Him, the wisdom and knowledge of my Lord and Savior grows also. He will do with me what He needs to. I have to be patient and let the pruning process work. I promise you this hurts. But my faith and my life is in the hands of my Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord for providing just enough to get me through today. I lay it all at your feet and continue the work that you set before me. Thank you Savior for dying and saving my soul. Thank you Father for forgiving me. Have a blessed day! Rise up child of God, rise up!
