My God

God continues to amaze me - God masters the use of everything. I find myself studying the
Old Testament, even more so lately, than the New. I'm gaining a deeper understanding of God and His nature. God never changes, His heart and His spirit can not be separated from the deeds of His hands. The more I learn about God the more He reveals himself as a master of the universe.

Our perspective of God is so vital in our walk as a Christian. In my early walk I came to understand that the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual gifting that are for the edifying of the body. For me Faith has been one of my most prominent gifts. God has placed a confidence deep within my spirit that has often caused those around me much discomfort. I remember how God upheld me during the loss of my first son. He ministered to me months before, prepared my heart. Many to this day are amazed when I recount those days with loving reflection, understanding that God does not make mistakes. I remember experiencing the grief that so many others have gone through, but yet my grief came prior to the loss of my son. By the time the day came, I was graced to accept it without shock, my perspective played a major role in my outlook during the difficult days that followed. I thank God that I was graced with uncommon faith and for that I am eternally grateful. Oftentimes I've felt isolated and alone simply because the Lord would reveal things to me and not permit me to reveal things until His timing. I struggled with this through the early years but after experiencing the rod of correction, I've learned to importance of being prudent. I've learned to wait on God and depend on Him to be my confidant. In Him I can trust and share my heart and thoughts when I feel isolated and misunderstood by others.

God is practical. He is sensible not emotional. His order is meticulous, He makes no mistakes and His plan is unfailing. God will never allow himself to be a liar. He is all knowing and all powerful. There is none other like Him. Religion, man's  doctrines preclude true intimacy and oneness with God. But through the spirit we can worship God and experience His presence. God's plan from the beginning was to commune with man, just as He did in the beginning with Adam. As we seek God, He reveals His plan to us. God in His infinite wisdom created everything to work in harmony. The Holy Spirit, offers the ability to interchange thoughts or feelings with the Father unrestricted.
