A lot of people consider the fact that when bad things happen that God doesn’t love them. cause surely if He did then why would they face the problems?…why would they have to go through heartaches and pains?…why do they suffer physically and for some even mentally?…why do they have troubles with their finances?…why do they have to struggle for everything that they posses in their lives?…surely if God loved them, then why would He not stop all of the hurt?…why wouldn’t their lives just be a bed of roses?…why they may ask?….and the answers that I have come to say today to each of you is this, that the word of the Lord says that it rains upon the just and the unjust..Matthew 5:45…and as well we must all remember that this world isn’t our home for we’re just merely pilgrims and strangers passing through..2 Corinthians 5:1…for as well Jesus tells us that in this world we would have trials, troubles and tribulations but He says to us be of good cheer for He has overcome the world..John 16:33…and as well that we’re not to store up our treasures here on this earth….but we are to store up our treasures in heaven, for Jesus says where our heart is there as well will be our treasure…Matthew 6:19/Luke 12:34….for you see today something very sad had taken place to a very dear couple that is close to mine and my families heart…and ya know the thing about it all is this, that they know Jesus Christ…that they serve Him…and that they live for Him daily….whether they are on the mountain tops of their lives, or whether their down in them valleys…their faith doesn’t waver considering the storms or the sunshine that may come in their lives…all because they know whom they believe in…and they know in whom they place all of their trust in…and that my friends is Jesus Christ our Lord…see they understand that the God they serve…will take care of everything…that He is faithful…1 Corinthians 1:19…and the He is just…that He is loving and ever so kind…that our Lord is able to do anything..Ephesians 3:20…for you see they know what the word of the Lord says…they understand that God Almighty can bring the dead back to life..John 11:43…they understand that the Lord is the healer..Isaiah 53:5…that our Lord is the provider..Philippians 4:19…that our Lord Jesus is their strength and hope..Psalm 28:7…they understand that God never slumbers nor sleeps..Psalm 121:4…that His eyes are always watching them..Proverbs 15:3….that He holds them in the palm of His hands..Psalm 139:10….that the very hairs upon their heads the Lord has numbered..Luke 12:7…so they don’t fret the storm….they don’t worry themselves…but they trust and they obey…and more than anything I know that they lean and they lean in ever so closely to our Father….for you see that’s what makes the difference for any of us..when the storms of life come and they come quickly…that we know that we know that we have a sure, firm foundation that we have built our lives upon Jesus Christ.Colossians 2:7….that He is our very present help in time of need..Psalm 46:1..that our God can do anything, anywhere that He chooses….so always know that real bad things happen to real good people…but that through it all them real good people have Jesus….because we know that with every test as the saying goes there does come a testimony…that through every mess in which may come, there as well will come a message…and that through them trials that we all have to face…and that we all will face, there as well we will receive the triumph and the Victory…for the worrier that we may once have been, will now become the Warrior…and we will be them soldiers standing tall and standing strong…with our whole armor of the Lord on…cause we know that God has us covered…and that the battle in which we face…doesn’t belong to us. but it belongs to the Lord..and He alone is the Mighty Warrior, and He alone is the Prince of Peace…and as well, He alone is our everlasting Father…so never forget whom it is that you belong to…and always know that God is fighting for you…and that our God loves you and that He loves you unconditionally!! In Jesus’ name I do ask ask pray…Amen and Amen!!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
