Note!
If you do not wish to receive my Encouragements . . . just send me an email
with the word 'unsubscribe' in the subject line.
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")
Well, I learned that from The Lord . . . that is His way of doing
everything He does!
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, which will be on
Thursday. 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
