Reminder to self...the battle's not ours...it's God's. Boy, do I need Your help today, Lord! I'm angry...frustrated...overwhelmed. Not the first time, yeah, I know. Won't be the last, either. Seriously, how long can I be treated this way by someone whom I know I need to be Jesus-light to before I say, "no more." Is putting myself in this position of recipient of his anger helpful to me? Helpful to him? Helpful to anyone? But...like I said, it's not my battle, it's Yours. Fight, Lord! Fight for me...to be able to say, "doesn't offend me. I take no offense..." Fight for him...for his heart to be opened to You, Jesus. I know it doesn't always stop when that happens, but at least I would know that I will see him someday in heaven. Thanks for the help, God. I know I can count on You.
ANSWER TO THIS PRAYER: Phone rang a little while later..."Jeanne?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry, hun. Didn't mean to treat you like that." YAY GOD! Way to hear the prayer and help him to act quickly!
Praise Him
ReplyDeleteSaw your blog on Blogger under missionaries
and shared a little of your world
the angry and frustrated part as well.
Nice testimony for answered prayer.
Thank you for lifting up the name of Jesus.
Thank you for your service.
From another missionary.
"We long for actually hearing God when we pray...
but sometimes you need to be ready
for what you are being told...
and you might not like it.."
Amen. Trust and obey,
not think and decide.
Lord that we may hear your voice clearly
and be quick to obey.
Sometimes it is hard to understand how
All things work together for good.
So Lord, we give you thanks for
all things, in all things, through all things.
Glory to you Jesus.
Be encouraged and trust Him.
We walk by faith and not by sight.
Give thanks in all things.

Ec 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
2Co 5:18 And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ.
All things, even the challenges,
the anger, and the adventures.
Adventure is a favorite word.
Websters - A Bold undertaking,
where hazards are to be encountered,
and the outcome is based on unforeseen events.
A unique experience in one's own personal history.
Often of a romantic nature.
Sounds like Jesus to me.
Missionaries and adventure.
