God sure does know how to reach us at all the right moments in our lives when we are feeling down and out. For 2 nights I had been waking up at 4 something in the morning due to my little turkey waking me up and I was so aggravated, I just wanted sleep. The third night I woke at at 4:50 something on my own, I thought there has got to be a reason for this, I then figured out that God was trying to talk to me. I had been very stressed out and feeling down and really thinking about stuff in my past and was letting small things get to me, not everyone knew. So God gave me the scriptures Romans 5, 1-5 and wow did it fit me right on, Here are the words. Romans 5:1-5New International Version (NIV) Peace and Hope 5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. I needed to be reminded of Gods grace in my life and that I was worthy and that my past is just that My past, My stress went right away after reading the scripture and it sank in. So earlier today I was in my room listening to the book of Matthew on audio book and was feeling kinda down again, The Devil knows my triggers and man was he using them. Matthew talks about forgiveness and loving your enemies, praying for them, wishing only good things for them. WOW Did I need to hear that, Some bitterness and unforgiveness was trying to come back into my life again and thank goodness that I seen it and put a stop to it real quick. I am very thankful that I have a great relationship with God and he has given me discernment to notice things right off that bat. To be where I was a year ago is a total 180 thanks to coming back out t my parents house and rededicating my life to God. Makes me cry so typing this cause man I was a mess, a very big mess and in all of that God seen me as worthy, He loved me anyway. God is good!!!
