"For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay." H2:3
Now that I'm having so much interaction with family members due to my mom coming to stay with me I received a call from my younger brother to finalize details.
My mom lives in a my hometown and it's a 13 and a half hours drive so my brother is flying her up to me. He got engaged last year but was sadly disappointed not long after the engagement as His fiancé called off the engagement.
I did not realise how much my brother is still hurting until we started chatting. He told me that his fiancé is back in his life and they starting off seeing each other but then she told him that they need to slow down and just be friends... Because she is dealing with a lot grief... the guy who she was in a relationship with prior to meeting my brother and who she went back to after she broke the engagement died...
Speaking to my brother l could hear and he was not saying it in so many words.. But the feeling l got is that he is hopeful they patch things up...
l realized his heartbreak is what my Husband is using to draw my brother close to Him!!!
I mentioned the "How God Can and Will Restore" for men and he sounded very eager and interested... I sent him the link to the Men's website and told him there's audio he could listen to. Immediately he messaged me back to ask must he start by Chapter 1? My brother does not like reading so l sent him a screenshot to show him where's the audio...
I'm sure you can understand how thankful and hopeful l am. Just like my Husband used my heartbreak to draw me close to Him it seems like He is doing the same thing for my brother Truly He uses All things for GOOD.
A few years ago l read the Salvation Stories (https://loveatlast.org/fc/ss/) because l have 2 younger brothers and l always thot that my younger brother that's a drug addict would give his heart to the Lord 1st... But now I'm wondering... And only the Lord knows who will be the 1st to fully surrender because none of my family has fully surrendered control of their lives to my Husband. They know Him and speak of Him but their lives and how they speak don't reflect HIM.
Living as His Bride makes it easy for me to be loving towards my family and to be understanding and kind and patient because of the love He showers on me
I'm just thankful... Staying close to Him and watching to see what my Husband is doing.. I don't feel anxious like l used to... I was always so anxious for my family to know how wonderful He is because when it comes to family members we know how much pain and heartache they go thru... If only they have what we have... His love and peace that surpasses understanding... But now it's really different. I'm at perfect peace living as His Bride knowing my Husbands got it all under control and whatever happens will be in His perfect timing

Thank you for sharing Sonnette, I just love how our loving Lord works and I am excited that you could give your brother the book and what testimony is going to come out of it what the Lord is going to do in your family’s lives.
