Wow are you sure that’s me … Hmmmm… Yes sometimes I do loose it and I’m also not perfected in Love yet but I’m aiming for it as God tells us to do but what I don’t do is hold onto bitterness and resentment until it eats me away like cancer or seek to get revenge, I take my hurt to Jesus and ask Him to help me resolve it and He does, sometimes I need to ask for forgiveness, other times to forgive even if not wanted.
This week I have had more Computer problems but thankfully they have been resolved, at least for now, I’m also using a new Browser called Firefox, it is one that WordPress recommended and amazingly it corrects my spelling errors, Wow did you say … Thank goodness!
I’m sure you will find this hard to believe, I did but it’s True….
When I was receiving help from Steve who is one of my Computer Technicians, he was playing a tape in the background and the first song I heard was… yes you guessed it …..” When you walk through the Storm” ( see previous recent Posts ) God was reminding me again that I’m not alone and I held onto this when my Computer crashed later that day and needed reformatting again, this has happened more than once before and is not only a waste of time but is very upsetting too because I loose all of your Posts, your replies to my comments and also my other correspondence and pictures, so please forgive me if I don’t respond to your replies when needed or comment on your messages straight away.
I do value you all as people of worth and although it may take time, I will visit you and respond to some of your messages, they bless me greatly and it is how I do my Devotions with The Lord each day and also how I get to know and Love you too.
Isaiah 43:1-3 – Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.”
Jeremiah 29 :11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Lamentations 3: 33 For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

God is indeed Loving, Compassionate and Merciful Secret A, but He will never go against His written word, yet even though He tells us that He hates Divorce, He also tells us He hates physical violence and He will indeed rescue those trapped in this types of Marriages, when all else fails.
Even though I did not know Him as my Abba Father because of being deceived as a child, a Doctor warned me that I needed to leave my first husband as my life was in danger and so I did after many years of abuse. I believe this was God’s hand and will for me, He preserved my life knowing I was His from Eternity. Satan is bared as he was with Job from taking our life by force until our allotted days are over, even though he tries.
God has saved me from death quiet a few times, even as an unbeliever and as He does with all of His known Children, He protects my Soul. I may be Martyred one day but it will not hurt me Eternally and I will be rewarded greatly, God also prepares us and strengthens us for whatever we have to endure in this life.
Christian Love Always – Anne

Thank you for your encouragement Secret A, I too have been Divorced but what I have learnt as a Christian is that Jesus tells us it shows a hard heart, which is an unwillingness to forgive either by one or both husband and wife.
Some ask….What about those who deliberately continue to hurt us, if it is not life threatening abuse we are to remain with them, God will give us the grace to endure and continue to forgive if we ask. What if they leave us, then we are no longer bound but as Christian woman, we are to seek to restore our marriage and if unable we remain unmarried, why because God tells us to do so for our own good. What if we have already remarried like Ron and I had, we remain in the marriage, it is where God found us.
I asked God to give me His Love for Ron and others, which includes forgiving regardless of the hurt, true closeness to Him and others is only possible when we are empowered by The Holy Spirit to Love as He does and that will be regardless of what the other person does to us. If a husband and wife both have God’s Love then they will have True closeness, if one doesn’t then the other one continues to Love and forgive…two wrongs don’t make a right.
Christian Love – Anne.

Amen. Love and forgiveness plus a marriage of 3 with God in the midst is a recipe for a healthy marriage… I just love this, “We Blog Together that makes Three -The Lord Ron and Me”… Having God in the middle of everything that we do is a Key to succeeding and overcoming anything in this life. Christ already gave us the example and we just need to follow His lead. Blessings to you again…

And blessings to you too Secret A, I believe for a man and woman to have real closeness they need to have this with Jesus First and if they are the only one in the Marriage who does have this closeness, then they are half way to having a perfect Marriage, so do they give up or aim for a 100% after all we don’t walk alone, God is always with us in the good and the bad.

God taught me through all of my troubles to only follow Him for He knows the best path and He will be our guide.. He pulled me out of a marriage that I prayed for Him to heal and restore but He keeps others in abusive marriages when they want their marriage to come to an end. Only He knows each heart and only He can guide us regarding to end a marriage or continue trying. There are many hardened hearts and He is the only One who knows if they will change. God should always be our Guide…

Hi dear friend, yes in the flesh we are just human that is why we have to put it to death but in the Spirit we are Super human, how can we be any other way if Jesus Christ is within us, which is what Salvation is all about, to believe in Him is to know Him within.
I don”t really pull my hair out etc but I do get frustrated for good reasons, like we all do when there is constant problems but I remember I’m not alone and all is Sunny again.
I’m enjoying your Posts, Island Traveler, thank you for sharing your family with us both in words and real life photography, I’m still creating your Power point but with the Blog and Computer problems and of course other responsibilities, I have had little time left, but will seek to finish it soon.

Hi Barb , I have not really banged the Computer or pulled my hair out but I have raised my voice, so far I like Firefox, it’s a good Browser and has made a difference, I’m grateful for WordPress’s advice, I wish I had taken it sooner but other advise I was receiving confused me.
I’m sorry your not well Barb, I know what it is like to be short of breath, I lived with chronic Asthma for 10 years until God healed me, the machines and puffers although necessary at the time, were a lot to endure, I feel very much for you.
Dear Abba Father you are a God who heals and restores, wrap your arms around your much loved daughter Barb and strengthen her, clear her chest and restore her health , give her abundantly of your wisdom for good -health now and for the future and touch her heart with your Peace. I pray in the Name of our beloved Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

Thank you dear Samina, it has been a problem for some time, I think in the beginning it was my own lack of Technical knowledge that caused some of the problems, other times it was deliberate intervention by those who do evil but God has strengthened me through it, No it was not His will that I had trouble but He uses everything for good.
Those who believe that hurting others willfully for what ever reason, is in God’s will for us are deceived and will answer for their sin, unless they have True heart repentance… let’s pray they do!

Sorry Deborah if you receive this comment more than once, my reply is not appearing under yours, I will let you know if it happens again so you know I have responded.
Sorry to hear of your problems with the phone, it has happened to me too. In regards to Satan, yes he motivates people to do evil but they will reap what they sow even the ones that claim it is for good unless they repent.
When we hurt others deliberately, it is not God’s will, what we do to them we are doing to Him, yes we correct error in teaching and rebuke sin in Love and for Love and yes sometimes this needs to be firm and to the point. Jesus made a firm stand for Truth and so did other Christians throughout the ages and now, risking rejection and even death but correction will not be vindictive or destructive to someones well-being and can be confirmed by Scripture.
I will check out Cathie’s blog later, thank you.
