Our Story – Losing Everything But Finding God Along the Way
|
God Will Provide A Way |
Much like millions of American families who actually fell
into victim into your major financial meltdown during these past few years, our
loved ones definitely would not continue to be safe from this disaster. My wife
and I experienced the predicament of "Exactly how will we at this point to
try to make ends meet"? Truly being subjected to the possibility of the losing
we both labored very hard for and dreamed about enjoying, our dreadful fear and
worry evolved into reality.
The two of us without a doubt suffered the loss of
everything. But nevertheless what my family and I would undoubtedly learn afterward
was that our misfortune was indeed a revelation revealing the incomprehensive
depth on the love of The Lord.
So Now what?
Deep down in our souls we both realized that each these issues
really are a set up for a comeback. God is good and my wife and I recognized
all sorts of good things would eventually come about from this one day.
Having said that, we were
faced head -on with having to deal with the nightmare of getting through life
on an everyday basis. Which by the way, turned out to be extremely bumpy as
well as unsettling, to say the least.
You could also be experiencing despair and distress on a
daily basis and may relate to this. You could have some really good days and
also quite a few painful moments. Life
is without any sense of tranquility nor pleasure…in simple terms there’s a huge
void in your life.
In looking back,
another thing has been beyond doubt, the compassion of our God. He had been the
only constant part of this trial.
It has been a very long process to arrive at this point. We
are at a place where my wife and I inside our hearts, want to help out others
that may be in a “terrible place” (for whatever the reason). We want to tell them how very simple it is if you just turn it
over ALL over to the Lord-100%. Once you understand the love God has for you is
so deep, you derive comfort and perseverance from Him.
If you have children you know the love you have for them is
so deep. Given this, you might contemplate how deep the love of the Almighty is
the fact that The Father crucified Jesus for your? Man's mind finds this
unfathomable.
My spouse and I been
through plenty of heartache. We both experienced every single feeling possible
from unhappiness, despair, isolation, hopelessness, lost self-esteem etc. As one
would expect it was sometimes torture to get through every day. It ended up
being just when my family and I realized that until we entirely turned over our
entire situation to the Lord, we would probably continue down this miserable
path. You may be wondering what it means by “relinquishing 100% to the Lord”?
No this doesn't imply you can no longer sit back and watch television or browse
the paper or have a nice glass of wine or even go to the movie theater. It is about a “mental outlook”. It is about believing with 100% of your heart
the promises Jesus makes to you and I. That's what faith and belief truly is,
isn’t it? Let me reveal the harsh truth, either you actually are going to commit
entirely or not. When you aspire to dwell in overall peace of mind and rest, is
not there any other journey? Accordingly
my family and I decided to commit 100%
of ourselves. And that is, TOTAL unwavering belief in The Lord that He will
bring us out a lot better off than we were.
We needed to believe that the Lord really will never leave
us or forsake us. We made a choice of instead of using our time and energy
being stressed or trying to predict what is in the future, we erased all
negative and focused on God’s promises. My family and I essential had to stop the
insanity and the best way to do was to put ALL our worries on Jesus. My wife
and I focused on the love of Jesus...Come to Me, all you who labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV).
The end result is when you find your soul at peace, Jesus will make a better way for you. All you
need to do is invite The Lord into your life to achieve this.
In looking back I
must say my family and Ii didn't get here all alone. My wife and I did not realize
it but God was by our side-The Lord did not abandon our family. (God is
actually by your side too!)
At the time once my
wife and I could actually accept that, is definitely when things to started to get
better for us emotionally.
I encourage you to go ahead and take the first step and turn
over your entire fears to Him. Make it a point that whenever you begin feeling
something negative, that you are in control of “hitting the delete button” . And
instead put your focus on the goodness and the love of the Lord. Invite Jesus
into your life. Once you do this, you will begin changing your life and good things
will start taking place for you. Believe me my wife and I know. The Lord is good.
