♕ Today's Promise: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

Dear Brides,
If you are the kind of person who says that you trust and believe in God but when there is something going on in your life, you try to solve it with your hands, then this chapter is perfect for you. You will see how God wants to bless us far beyond our own understanding.
The Lord reminded me through this lesson that He should always be first in our life. We need to go talking to Him for anything we are going through or we need help with.
If we do it, we will be surprised of how He has settled the blessings to come abundantly to us.
We need to wait before taking action. Our situations will be solved when we do it on our own, but the result is not as marvelously as He has envisioned.
Last year my youngest nephew proposed to his fiancee and decided to get married by December. He called me like 2 months before the wedding to let me know about it and also because he wanted me to accompany him to a Groom Suit rental store because according to his wedding budget, getting a new brand suit would be just out of question.
I was extremely happy and grateful with the Lord because for me not having kids on my own, preparing one for a wedding would be impossible, but not for Him.
Anyway, that day when we got together, the Lord put in my mind to go first to the shopping mall and find out about his size because this would be his first suit ever. When we got to the store, we found the perfect suit the Lord had for him and the price was on sale, which of course we bought.
As you can see my nephew was settling for less because he wanted a rental suit, however at the end He was able to learn that if you trust the Lord, you only need to ask and discuss it with Him and then just wait.
As in the chapter, the enemy tried to stole the blessing for him and for me as my mum put in my mind that the only reason why I was able to spend the day with my nephew and buy the suit was because my sister was expecting me to pay. The idea tried to make me sad, but I gave it to my Lord and just enjoyed the blessing.
I will apply the principle by living it as much as I can and share it through testimonies on His Time and with the people He wants me to.
Dear Brides,
Our flesh will limit us to go beyond our needs. Surrender everything to Him, wait on Him and you will see that all your requests will be answered in a bigger and better way than you pictured.
