T.O.D.A.Y.'S ENCOURAGEMENT for Aug. 31, 2010
T.O.D.A.Y. Ministries Good Morning! As I said yesterday, I am going to be
sharing some of my personal testimony with all of you. The Lord has a "reason"
for leading me to do this (He always has a "reason" for everything He
does)!Before I start, I want to say some things first... (you know me, I gotta
"lay a foundation") First of all, I need to let you know
that I am going to be very honest and candid about some of my convictions,
beliefs, and truths that I embrace. I am not trying to "impose" these
convictions on any one. You can agree or disagree with me....that is your
choice. If you don't like what I say, then you can always "switch
channels"....OR you can stay around long enough to find out why I have peace and
joy and contentment and freedom from my past hurts! Who wouldn't want to have
that kind of victory? So, just let me "tell my story"...okay? I believe that The
Lord, Himself, is going to be typing every word that I share~~~~~~~~~~ I have had many bad things happen to me
in my life, as I am sure all of you have also. I am here to tell you that those
bad things were NOT from God. God doesn't put bad and evil things on His
children to teach them something.....would you put bad and evil things on your
children in order to teach them? I don't even like it when I hear people say
that God "allows" these horrible things to happen to us!. No, we are the one
that "allow" these things for the same reason that I "allowed" them.....it was
because I did not have a knowledge of God's WORD, and I did not know that I had
a "covenant" with Him, and mainly because of my wrong "choices". Understand
this.....the thing that God does allow, is for us to make our own choices! He
created us with a free will, and He will not ever take that away from us. I was
used and abused....I was rejected and dejected....I was depressed and oppressed,
I was wanting to be loved and wanting to have someone to love....and I was
looking for that love in all the wrong places ( I repeat....in all the wrong
places). I cannot put all of this in one
Encouragement, so I will continue this in my next one. I want to thank all of
you that have sent me emails letting me know that you want to hear my
"testimony". God Bless, and may you receive what you need from it! Have a Blessed Day!! (God has YOU
on His mind!) In His Love, Luanne

Well, I learned that from
The Lord....that is His way of doing everything He does!
