Than comes the God of love, with His fulfillment. “And He will be found by you.” For the finding of Him by His children is the joy of His heart. For His heart is toward all that would truly want to know Him. Those willing to have that intimate one and one relationship with Him, that takes place in the secret recesses of the heart. Where no one knows what transpires but the believer and this God of love, that died to make such a relationship possible. It is to this relationship God calls all those that would desire to be His. This call is to the heart of man, from the heart of the God of love. From the heart of God to the heart of man. This is God’s invitation to all those that would be willing to be His. “Come to me all that are heavy laden with fears, doubts, confusion, questions and any and all things that would prevent you from coming to me” Says the God of love, to all those that would be willing to be His........completely.

Not me, this post was so simplistically profound, I thought it good to bring it back into the forum. Thanks for sharing this. It was really needed for some reason. Go bless.

When we know what it is that God has to say to us, including His instructions, His promises, the way He teaches us His ways, then, by the Holy Spirit, we know what to ask for, what to seek after, and what door it is we desire He open for us when we knock. I just learned recently another reason for studying His Word.... ready? Okay, here it is: one of the most wonderful things that the Holy Spirit will do for us is to bring Scripture to our remembrance. How exciting it will be to have the Holy Spirit bring to our remembrance the right scriptures to answer anyone who asks us the reason for the hope that is in us! But, you see, if we don’t study, the Holy Spirit won’t be able to find anything in our minds to bring to remembrance! That would not be good at all! Again, thanks for the awesome study. God is so good! - Selah Absolutely! God is so good, in all things, times, occasions. We are so blessed to have a God Who Himself is all love. To have the privilege to get to know this awesome God, through study, through prayer, through fellowship. Such a great thing to see Christ in our fellow brothers and sisters. Blessings as He makes Himself more real to us daily. Much love in Christ, Not me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lesson that needs to be learned. Thank the Lord though, that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. For righteousness is His will, so we can trust His love for us.

I thought that was Donald Trump- with his many rally's theme music blaring out the Rolling Stones, "No, you can't always get what you want. You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometime you find. You get what you need. " - Hmm, I do think my prayer is answered by God, and not with a no either. Perhaps the idea of a conflict that has need to be resolved is explained within the Book of Isaiah at Isaiah 65. Seems to me God knows my prayer before I do. He has satisfied it before I know of it myself. If it seems to me to be an answer of no that is my misconception and not his refusal. His will is served at the timing known to Him for what is best in answer to my prayer. Just as it was for my grandmother's prayer for my salvation which came long after her earthly demise, but was answered by God in the affirmative from time before time before her asking again and again in her prayers. I do think it a bit of a side step to say God answers no, when He has said ask and I will grant to you. There seems to me to be more than that, as an answer when there is not a great puff and voila prayer answered. I do believe Jesus does reconcile prayer just as he has reconciled salvation of flawed and rebellious individuals to being turned about by the Holy Spirit. God answers prayer. He is not a trickster. He has known them from before they were thought and uttered by me. Perhaps the positive answers are eternal, more than temporal in nature, and a better answer in the affirmative than may be realized by me. I just know God is not to be trifled with, and He has stated "ask and you shall receive". That I see darkly today, as the phrase goes, does not mean God has not answered in affirmative manner. So, I simply count them as answered affirmatively by God. Plus I do not insult my creator in trifling games such as asking Him to turn my vanilla milkshake into a preferred coffee flavored one, when He has already provided answer by giving me means to order another in the flavor I have wanted. It just doesn't seem clever for me to say sometimes the answer is no, though many a preacher uses that as explanation for not seeing the answer to prayer. To me there must be a better answer than that one. For that one seems to me to be a making of an excuse for God. I do believe I will find my prayers answered, just may not learn of how and when in this lifetime nor ever I suppose, but I have confidence that is my lacking understanding and not God's lack of doing. After all I am saved, by Jesus, through the agency of God the Holy Spirit, even though I didn't have want of it. My grandmother's prayer answered by God. I never knew what hit me, but God did, from before the beginning of all things of creation He knew. All things do work together for good for those that believe on Jesus as Lord God and savior. Prayers are answered to that good, my knowing the when and where of it not necessary for it to be so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
