We do so may things throughout our life that we need to ask for forgiveness for. 1 Kings 8:46 tells us “There is no one who does not sin“ and Romans 3:23 says “All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.” I know I have made bad decisions in my life, which had led God to discipline me. It has been ongoing lesson for me, opening my heart to understand what Revelations 3:19 says, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.“ All my life settling for less than excellent has been a major part of Satan’s deception, that my will is fine. I realize now what Psalms 81:10-12 means about God’s perfect will and his permissive will. Every time I settled for less I received mercy from God for he had always know His will would be done. He gave me “Elizabeth’s way” so many times I left him no option except to make me be still and know he is God. He is now doing just that. Psalms 46:10 was a rhema for me. Finally, my heart has accepted this in my life is to “Be still and know that God is God” and his ’perfect will’ will be done. I love Hebrews 12:4-11. It tells me to endure this hardship as discipline and because I am a child of God this hardship will soon be over, and I will reap rewards for my endurance. Oh, don’t get me wrong; I hate not being home with Mikie Porter. I do know God loves me very much and he will always forgive me because he is merciful, just, and fair. 1 Peter 1:6-7 assures me though now for a little while I may have to suffer grief in all kinds of trails, my faith through all this will be proven genuine through my perseverance all praise, glory, honor be to God, my Father, who saw enough worth in me to chastise. Revelations 3:19 says, Those I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and repent.” I have to repent on a daily basis and I thank my Father because I know he always hears me and is so faithful to forgive. Every night I thank my Father for so may things, here lately, for understanding of his rebuke. Thank you Father. Romans 5:3 say to “rejoice in our suffering.” Let me admit I’m not there yet, so keep me in your prayers. You are always in mine. Let us meet on our knees, in humble prayer. Elizabeth Porter |
