2 Corinthians 4:7-9 "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."

    Brotherhood Appreciated

    When I was down and out, the friend farthest in distance from me gave me the closest reassurance I badly needed.

    There are some things that i didnt ask God for, but he freely gave it to me. how come he didnt give me what i asked for?

    The measure of success is not what we are measured up to with acheivements in our life, but...how we will stand with God when all has passed away.

    Sooner as you know it I would fall back into that depression again. But, I would continue to look onto the Lord. I wouldn't give up in crying out to Him. I know that the Lord hears me. I know that He loves me.

    He guards our rear where we are most vulnerable, and He goes out before us where we cannot see, so that He may make the paths straight.

    The Lord is always faithful to us. A lot of times when we had given up hope or when we least expect, the Lord comes through.

    Reality sinks in because all this time that we begin to think that hope is lost and that the Lord will not hear us; the whole time He has been standing side by side with you.

    As Jesus had compassion on those He walked with and at times His spirit grieved, so as with us when we are hurt. I believe as well His spirit greives and He mourns with us. I believe He has compassion on us and almost empathy for us. He mourns I believe because of our lack of faith and that we are hurt over the most simplest things. He mourns for us because of our lack of trust in Him.

    You may not see it now but you will see it when your trial has ended. God is always with you Jamie. Keep Him close to you and He will lift you up. At times when the days are troubled, stand still and see that God is God.

    i've realized there is no use crying over spilled milk. but i still can't believe how my human standards have failed me. i am still grateful that even with that fact, God sees me differently than how i look at myself. i couldn't imagine trading all the great blessings that God has already given me with the smallest things that i ask from him. i am trying to let my faith work at this moment and put in my heart that if God saw me through my hard times before, i'm sure He will lead me through over again.
