Dear Brides, this chapter ["Mountain Moved"] ended in a way that I did not expect. The suspense was killing to find out what happened and how it happened. But I found that most importantly I feel the same as the writer does. This chapter has given me so much more than just the end to a story it has given me that “fairytale ending” that we all hope for.

I know that I am willing to face whatever mountain is before me as long as My Love and I are together. I would not change a thing that has happened and I know it is for the next generation, for our children and for others to see The Lord in all of this. May He get all the Glory!

Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your testimony, your trials, your mountains and all your real emotions and feelings with us. This helps me to relate and shows me that we all sometimes go through these feelings and emotions as we cling onto Our HH (Heavenly Husband) in the midst of our trial and as we face our sometimes gigantic mountains. It’s ok to go through feelings and thoughts but this does not define how much faith, trust and love we have for Our Faithful Husband.

I don’t know if or when any of my mountains, that I face and will face, will ever be moved. I don’t know what My Love plans to do or not do for me. But the point of all this is that our suffering is for the next generation and for others to see Him and all He can do through our lives.

The most important thing to me is that all this that has happened has helped me find My True Love in a way I never knew. This is a whole new life that I never thought could be possible. This is a love I never knew existed. From the outside looking in, it looks like I am in a terrible predicament, according to the ways of the world and the way the world sees things. But not to me! I walk so close to my Love that I know that whenever things get worse and the mountain seems to be standing strong, I know My Husband is stronger and He is with me.

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Just like the three in the fire, as they faced the fiery furnace, they believed that God would save them and if He didn’t they knew that this was the Will of God and others would see their faith and trust in Him through this. No matter how bad things are we can always show our love for Him. When others see the peace He gives us and the love we have for Him they will want that for themselves.

Dear Brides, I would like this chapter to encourage you as it has done for me. Know that what ever mountain you face, your Heavenly Husband is with you. “He will never leave you nor forsake you”. We will face the fiery furnace but He will walk with you through the fires, you will not be alone.

We may wonder if He will ever move the mountain. We may even feel doubt and fear. But we should not rely on our feelings. Our feelings can be easily influenced and persuaded by seeing our mountain in front of us or when we feel the heat from the fiery furnace we face. What’s important is that we keep all our faith and trust in Him. He is Our Deliverer. He will deliver us from all our fears no matter what we face and whatever His Will is for us. He will will give us His Perfect Peace, just like he did to the three faithful young men.

"I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears." Psalm 34:4

We must always give thanks in all our circumstances, in every situation as we stand in front of our mountain.

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Accept His Will over our own and know that our suffering will benefit the future generations, our children.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9

Be willing to suffer the trials, tribulations and persecutions of others for the sake of Christ. May He get all the Glory!

"For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps." 1 Peter 2:21

"But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled," 1 Peter 3:14

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." Romans 8:18

"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." 1 Peter 5:10

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’” Jeremiah 29:11

Isn’t it the greatest thing that we have a future and a hope that nobody can take away? In our Heavenly Husband we have peace, a peace that the world cannot destroy because our HH is an unending source of all we need to get through the tribulations of this world. And isn’t it totally awesome that He, Who loves you and is for you, has overcome this world?
