When God says "no" in one area, He's saying a much louder "yes" in another.
We tend to have greater faith in our problems than we do in God.
Sometimes God's will can feel like a chore. There will be things God asks us to do that are uncomfortable. And we will have to choose: stretch ourselves, be willing to leave the coziness of our contentment and trust Him with the details or stay where we are and refuse to accommodate His greater plan because we're too lazy and self-absorbed to realize that it's not at all about us.
We are to be diligent and faithful in what is right in front of us. Because God-sized dreams are not about us, they are about the dream-giver. - Holley Gerth
When things don't follow our timetable or God doesn't "perform" the way we think He should....instead of getting mad at God, shutting down, or walking away....We need to hold onto Him even tighter.
God doesn't want us to try to anticipate His next move. No matter how hard we try, we can't figure Him out.
Operating in the flow of God's power is so much better than working against it. - Lysa TerKeurst
Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that was open. Personally, I don't want to "look back" because God is calling me to "come on."
As Jody and I are preparing to open our own Whole Body Vibration Studio, our prayer is that we humble ourselves so that others may know the goodness of God. Our lives are living letters written so that God might be glorified. Suffering is trying and difficult to bear, but hiding just below its surface is discipline, knowledge, and limitless possibilities. Each of these not only strengthens and matures us but also equips us to help others. The lives that have been the greatest blessing to us are the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of having been a blessing. May we be humble servants of a most Holy God. ✞
God's power is manifested in the lowly, humble and hungry. He comes to exalt those that are weak. Joy sometimes needs pain to give it birth. I believe God uses trials to bless us. The thing I've found after each "dead end" was the next thing was better than the one before. I believe every trail that comes along is going to work out for my good. I am reminded that we serve a powerful God who still works miracles in the lives of everyday people. Our greatest weakness is God's greatest platform. Because it's not about making us famous, it's about making Him famous.
Blessings,
Dalinda
