When I first found this site, I had no relationship with God. My life was and still is falling apart.
Through all these hard times the lost of my home my business my marraige on the rocks,
I found Great relief in God through prayer, I am not very familiar with the Bible I am starting now
But if my life would not been ripped from me, I would have never found God or all you kind people
who quote parts of bible scriptures where I van go back and read and learn.

So I thank God for all these corrections I guess this was the best way to get my attention!!!!!

Dear Coonie,

When you wrote, "But if my life would not been ripped from me, I would have never found God or all you kind people who quote parts of bible scriptures where I van go back and read and learn," Psalm 119:71 popped right into my mind. Actually, Psalm 119:65-72 is a good passage to read if you're going through some things and want God's direction and His Word sustaining you. Verse 71 says, "It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees." The whole Psalm 119 is all about the value and the role of God's word in the life of the believer.

Remember, Jesus came that we can have life and more abundantly. He also told us that the Father knows what we need, even before we ask. Please keep us posted on what happens with you and your financial situation.

"My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

May God bless and guide you.

Loving Him,
><Linda>

It's been my experience that we often have to get to the end of ourselves before we're open to finding the beginning of God. Once we've found Him, we start a life of perpetual beginnings, each day revealing His love for us in a new way...each problem...each temptation...each event leading us ever closer to His unimaginable love and blessings. I've never had a problem He didn't turn into a blessing. Sounds like you're on the same course. I'm glad He brought you here.

btw: If you'd like to continue learning from the Bible, let me recommend our Christian Discipleship School, under Bible Study on the site menu bar above. It isn't as official or as difficult as the name suggests...just a few Bible study lessons to teach you all about your relationship with God.

Love & Hugs,

Coonie -

I have really hated the hard lessons in my life. With God's help I have overcome many things. Many more to go I guess.

I have been through several episodes of situations - not identical to yours but equally intense and hopeless. Yet here I am.

God had to pull all the Israelites out of Egypt - which was the whole world to them - in order to shape them into a nation to serve His purposes.

We each have Exoduses, sometimes repeatedly as we are separated from each worldly thing. It is part of that "whom God loves He also chastises (cleans up)".

The Lord Bless you and strengthen you and set you on a new and better course, Coonie, In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Shalom.
