“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
This praise I want to dedicate to the Lord for the changes in me.
Thank you Lord for leading me to RMI. He has since then revealed many things to me. I changed from hoping EH to change to going thru transformation myself. It’s true when they say “when the Lord is in you, He will change you from within.” He helped me realize how much I needed a heavenly father and a heavenly husband because of what I have experienced in my parents’ marriage when I grew up, why many of my relationships did not last, how chose to irritate EH when I felt restless and unfair because of my self-righteousness, etc. When I looked at my own sins, I no longer looked beyond His grace for me.
When I found myself to be a different person, the atmosphere at home has changed as well. It’s been peaceful though too quiet at times and I was able to focus more on loving the Lord and my children. Yes I still don’t know what’s to come, but I trust that “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 and “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” Psalm 112:7
I hope this is encouraging to all the brides who are currently on the journey. Before you know, the Lord has changed you and you are blossoming under His care.
“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust—there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace. For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.” Lamentations 3:25-33
So true Gioia its amazing the changes that happen when we start living out the principles.. Suddenly when you are practising these principle of having a gentle and quiet spirit, there’s peace in your home, when you have kindness on your tongue there’s no more arguing and strife. There comes a day when you realise that so many things that were coming up against you is gone.. I remember the wonder of that! Its as simple as living out His word those principles in your daily life. Looking at your own sins is not easy but oh how gracious HE is towards us 🙂
Atarah I can’t agree more. Early in my journey I was doubting the possibility of walking out these principles because I was so overwhelmed by the circumstances and so often acting out of flesh. Once I was able to go past that – not that I didn’t get affected by it, “with God all things are possible.”
Relatório maravilhoso! Como é bom mudar o foco! Como é bom estar tão quebrada a ponto de olhar para dentro de nós mesmas. Obrigada, querida!
Wonderful report! How good it is to change the focus! How good it is to be so broken as to look within ourselves. Thank you, honey!
I love what you shared Gioia: “I changed from hoping EH to change to going thru transformation myself.”
I think all of us who was called to start on this journey, came here hoping it will help us change our eh and turn their hearts, only to find that we are the ones who change, our heart turn towards somebody else, our Heavenly Husband!
I can relate to so much of what you shared, your experienced as a child that contributed to so many issues in relationships https://narrowroadpublishinghouse.com/rjn-adina-jacobs/.
“how chose to irritate EH when I felt restless and unfair because of my self-righteousness, etc” I can definitely relate to what you shared here, when anything did not go my way, or I felt irritated, I did the same. The lesson https://loveatlast.org/ryr/c6/ reminded me that we can take all those negative feelings to our Heavenly Husband, only He can comfort us and take those emotions away.
