“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” Everything He does, He does for our good. Everything He gives, He gives according to what He knows we need in that moment and in that specific season of our lives. The Lord knows what’s best for each of us. He may not always give us what we want, or give it to us when we want it, but He gives us what we can handle.

Sometimes, when people have everything they want in life, they never reach a place where they truly need or desire more of God. Amen. They feel content because nothing ever seems to go wrong. But as parents, we understand this principle: we don’t give our children everything they ask for. Instead, we give them what we believe they can handle at that stage in life. We teach them the value of hard work, the importance of patience, and that persistence pays off. Amen.

Scripture says, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” – Galatians 6:9. Amen!

Likewise, no matter what we receive—or don’t receive—my heart and prayer is that we remain thankful for all that we do have and all that we’ve been blessed with. A heart of thankfulness brings a life of happiness and true, lasting contentment. We are called to give thanks in all things: “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

The Lord knows that many of us might walk away from Him if we had all the money we desired, or all the riches the world could offer. I would even go as far as to say that if some people never got sick or never faced hardships, they might never pray the way they do when they’re in need. But God knows when we’ve reached the place where, even if we never received another blessing, we would still praise Him—not just for what He’s done, but simply because of who He is. Amen.

My mind goes to the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11–24. The son demanded his inheritance, even though his father knew he wasn’t ready for it. Still, the father gave it to him, and the son went off and wasted all he had on reckless living. When everything was gone, he found himself in a pigpen, eating the very food meant for the pigs. But then, he came to his senses and said, “I will arise and go to my father.” He realized that even being a servant in his father’s house would be better than his current situation.

So, he returned home. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him, ran to him, and embraced him with open arms. He put a ring on his finger and threw a great celebration to welcome him home. Amen!

This is how our Lord is with us. He knows exactly where we are in life, what we need, and what we can handle. Whether we are walking closely with Him or have drifted away, He waits for us with open arms. “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” – Luke 15:10.

So today, whether you have much or little, be thankful for what you do have. If we can be faithful over the little, the Lord promises He will make us rulers over much – Matthew 25:23. He knows what we can and cannot handle. And when the time is right, He gives more—or sometimes less—because He knows what’s best.

Let us trust in Him and in His perfect ways. For His ways are always right, always good, and always perfect. Amen!”

”For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen & 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 ❤️
