Lessons from Father

The revelation of what we are is not revealed in our victories, but through our struggles.

There is nothing that the nearness of God cannot cure.

Fear is the gauge that measures the span between man and God. If I fear my focus is not on the Father.

If I have no peace and joy my focus is not on Father.

Pride is the master of disguise. Pride is: self-hatred, feeling offended, being defensive, jealousy, obsessing on failure and rejection, the feeling of not deserving anything, expecting the worst, being negative, and even some depression.

"Life will teach us all who the Master is, and though He must wait until our condition is broken, He enjoys our fellowship when it is all over." Mike Wells

Do we truly know what is good and what is bad? We label things good or bad all the time. If all that happens in our life is allowed by God, can they be labeled as bad or is it all meant for our good? All events, experiences, sorrows, pains, and joys are meant to bring us to His feet!

Who am I? This is my greatest lesson thus far. No matter how I grew up, the sins I've committed, the things I've done right or wrong, this is who I am to my Father:

a child of His
chosen
holy
a new creation
set apart
a saint

With lots of Love,
