God does not 'need' us but delights in our partnership. Do not worry, just get well and healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Figure of eighty, `For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,...` (Rom. 8: 29) God`s purpose is to make us like His Son. Everyday events and happenings do not prevent that. The Holy Spirit within us `stirs` us to think upon our behaviour and heart attitude. When something is `highlighted` so to speak, then we can repent, ask for forgiveness and thus we are more and more being shaped like God`s Son. It is the `inner` person that God is dealing with. Too often we get side tracked with events and people, etc, or whether God wants me to go there or here etc. Focus on listening regarding our attitude, and then we`ll make better decisions on external things. praying Marilyn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah 29:11 11For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I can suggest dear sister, to just pray, read the word and apply what you have learned and God will reveal his plans for you step by step as he shapes you to what his plans are for you. Each person has a place that fits perfectly into God's puzzle so to speak, you are an important part, for the puzzle is never complete without all the pieces. (James 1:4-8 King James Version (KJV) 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.) God bless you ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to witness, perhaps from a computer on social media...? Healthy or sick, I should have the same life purpose and know God's will, yes?

So it is in life. You might have a question, but the answer can be complicated and beyond our understanding till we've learned some lessons.

It's been my experience in my 72 years living and watching others, that once we have become his by us declaring his Lordship, what he wants is for us to be happy and as best we can spread the gospel to others..... Some do this by preaching and others by example. So decide if you really belong to him and if the answer is yes then set back and decide what it is that would make you happy... and if he agrees it will work itself out..... and if he disagrees he will either tell you or it will all of a sudden have all kinds of roadblocks come up. We are all different and have different skills and abilities.... and it would be most difficult for anyone to tell you what you yourself might want to do.... So just do what makes you happy and if it's ok it will work out and if not something else will come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God calls us to live by the two greatest commandments. Love God with everything in you with all you might and 2 love thy neighbor as thyself. This is all he wants of us. Our gifts and talents will show up as we learn of Him. Be steadfast. Lean on mature elders who have been around the block and are spirit filled wise in the Gods ways Edited December 31, 2019 by Mike Mclees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
