Doing God's Will

You'll either spend your life doing your own thing, or doing God's thing! To understand which is which, consider your heart and your personality. Paul advised, " make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given and then sink yourself into that." Ask yourself questions like; What do I really enjoy doing? When do I feel most fully alive? What am I doing when I lose tract of time? Do I like routine or variety? Do I prefer serving with a team or by myself? Am I more introverted or extroverted? Am I more of a thinker or a feeler? Which do I enjoy more, competing or cooperating?
Examine your life experiences and extract the lessons you've learned. Review your life and think about how it molded you. Listen: "Remember today what you have learned about the lord through your experiences with him" ( DT11:2 ). Forgotten experiences are worthless; that's a good reason to keep a spiritual journal. Paul wrote: "were all your experiences wasted? I hope not!" (Gal. 3:4). We rarely see God's purpose in pain or failure while it's happening. Only with hindsight do we understand how God intended the problem to mold us for good.
Since God knows what's best for us, we should gratefully accept the way he's fashioned us. You were designed for a purpose so you shouldn't resent or reject it.Instead celebrate who you are, and enjoy everyday of your life.

He Gives Songs In The night

Have you ever experienced a time in your life when your world fell apart? Well I did, It was the worst thing in my christian experience I ever had to go thru. I felt like God had forsaken me in my time of trouble.God led me through this valley day after day when darkness covered me and there seemed to be no light. I prayed an prayed and prayed some more, I would go to my bedroom and claim God's promises over this trial and tell God what the word says.All this went on for a long time. I wanted it to be over soon, but God had another time frame. God had to teach me that he can give songs in the night. The most beautiful songs you could ever amagine. God taught me to wait on him, he is faithful. To trust his word for it is true. He would wake me up in the midnight hours with a song. He would send people to me to hold me up and give me encouragement from God's word. To this day I felt like one of the ladies who came to the church at this time in my life, I believe she was an angel sent from God. She came in suddendly and left soon after.She would always come to me and hand me a note of what God would do for me. There came a time when God came to me and told me everything is going to be alright. It did not happen right then, but it did happen just like he told me it would. So you see dear friend, we think all these trials are awful, we hate them, and I did. I wanted them to just go away.If they had went away, I would have never experienced the things that I learned in this valley.These are some of the things I learned. God is faithful, he will never forsake you, Patience to see it through,faith to believe his word will do what it says.God will meet you at your lowest point, forgiveness, for if we do not forgive, he will not forgive us our trespasses and much more. I learned,he gives songs in the night, beautiful songs of encouragment.....
