times such as these...

The lord has perfect timing. Did you ever truly realize that? I have a lot lately. There are people and events that take place at just the opportune moment. For example, life has been pretty busy, and the desires of my heart just wanted someone there to comfort me . The lord allowed someone to enter my life, and now they have truly become just a wonderful friend and blessing. The lord has done this for me so many times, so why am i so surprised? ITs not that i am surprised, i just marvel at the fact that such a perfect being cares so much about such an imperfect being as myself... but he does. We are his children and he loves us and wants us to be happy . That is why he has given us the wonderful plan of happiness, also known as the plan of salvation, redemption, and mercy. All those words ( happiness, salvation..) are what our heavenly father wants for us. He does not delight in our sadness but he feels the pains along with us. He is always near by with his arms stretched out still. He continually invites us to come unto him. He invites, he does not force. He wants it to be our decision. How great is that? He wants us to learn for ourselves!

On the other hand, Satan also knows the opportune times to strike. He wants to get us when we are done and keeps us down. I have seen this in my own life and in the life of others. We must aware of those times. Satan will slowly creep into our lives and start to convince us that we are not worthy of such a perfect love or great happiness that we are receiving. BUT THAT IS A LIE!! we are worthy of such love. We are worth so much. So often, it is not others that convince us that we are useless, but we convince ourselves. We have such wonderful potential inside all of us. We will each change the world in different ways. We are truly a generation of righteous individuals who have the potential to do so much more than we ever could think of.

my challenge: recognize all the tender mercies of the lord and also notice when satan is starting to lie to you and change it.

Thanks for letting me be apart of each of your lives. I am truly blessed.
