It Takes Time

♕ Today's Promise: "And my people, which shall be called after me, shall be humbled, and shall flee unto me, and shall turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

☊ PRAISE from Bernie

Dear Brides, this chapter ["The Potter and the Clay"] shows us the right way. He explains how to find peace in that He will change us, as a potter can do with his work. It takes time and a lot of work, but he does it to make the work perfect. Let's rejoice, because He has started a good work and will finish it!

As I read this chapter my mind was really refreshed by the fact that I should not focus on what other people were doing or doing to me as they had hurt or wronged me. I have to turn my attention to my Love and hope for the future, because that is what He has in store for me. The chapter is a wonderful reminder that our Heavenly Husband is the one who transforms us because He does not want us to live in sin and filth. He wants to bring peace, forgiveness, compassion and above all His love, perfect love, into our lives.

At the beginning of my journey, the changes were really visible to me, they seem to have happened from hour to hour, such as the fact that I stopped talking about my marital situation, I am generally more discreet about things. I also began to look for positive things in situations and my relationship with my Beloved changed completely, finally I began to look for His face and began to be interested in what His will was and what He thought. There is no doubt that He made all these changes and I live through His grace.

I will continue to seek His presence and ask Him to transform me, because sometimes those changes are slow and He trains me through repetitive situations. Until it stops bothering me and I will be completely changed! Praise Him! It is also crucial that I continue to read and learn His word, which is true in all circumstances.

Sometimes I still struggle with memories of what happened and how I was hurt. I confess that this is not the way of life I want to lead and I need my Love to remove all my pride, self-righteousness and self-pity. I realize that because of this He leads me through difficult situations, but at the same time He cleanses me and I need it very much.

Dear Brides, in order to finally have order in our lives and to be renewed, we must be changed. How often have we tried to change something or someone else!? But it had no effect ... Let us give up our will and accept His. There is nothing wrong, on the contrary, His changes lead to peace and eternal love. You will see, you will not be disappointed !!

"And my people, which shall be called after me, shall be humbled, and shall flee unto me, and shall turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15: 7.

These verses are full of hope. It is more than clear from them that in order for change to take place so that we can be healed, we need to turn to Him, live with Him fully, and have His word in our hearts.
