Does God Care?


 As I write this blog, I am thinking about how much God loves and cares for us even if we don't feel it.  

 The prophet, Habakkuk questioned if God cared about His people, because they were  suffering under the Babylonian dominant imperial power and cruelty.  Habakkuk is one of the twelve minor prophets.  A "minor" prophet means the prophet's revelation and report from Lord was short. Habakkuk's  first complaint was, "How long, O Lord, shall I cry out and you not listen. Shall I shout to You, "Violence!" And You not save! Habakkuk 1:2" He is asking the Lord, do you care about us? We are suffering!

Have you every felt like the LORD wasn't listening to your prayer? Therefore, He doesn't care about you nor loved you?  God gave me the words below to share with you.  

"The  Lord, have made a covenant of love. He does not care about you as a mortal cares about you. He cares about you vastly more than even you care about yourself. He looks out for your best interests, even if it doesn't feel like.  But, the Lord doesn't look out for you as a friend or a loved one might. He looks out for your wellbeing immeasurably more than you or anyone else could. The Lord  loves you, but not as a person loves another person. God loves you more than anyone could ever love you. If you were to take the most giving, loving individual you have ever known, and multiple that love by ten thousands, ten thousands times, you wouldn't even begin to understand the love that He  has for you. He loves you to an extent that is beyond human circumstances." 

If the answer has not come yet, trust and believe that God is working things out. Daniel prayed and fasted for  twenty one days. When  the angel from God came, he said, " Have no fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to get understanding, practicing abstinence before your God, your prayer was heard, and I have come because of your prayer. However, the prince of the Persian kingdom (Satan: the guardian angel of Persia kingdom) opposed me for twenty-one days; Michael, a prince of the first rank (warrior angel and archangel), has come to my aid, after I was detained there with the kings of Persia. So I have a come to make you understand what is to befall your people in the days to come, for there is yet a vision for those days."  (Parenthesis are mine.)

We must never give up on God; for there is a spiritual battle that is being fought on our behalf that we know nothing about.  But the Lord God, loves and cares for us. Jesus has won the battle against Satan for our souls.  You don't know what and how the prayer battle is fought. But, pray and never give up. Pray until your change comes. The Lord will move heaven and earth for you, because He loves and cares for you, even if it doesn't seem like He does. 

It might be hard to see, know, or believe. But God loves and cares for you. Your name is written in the palm of His Hands. 

" Now the God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Romans 16:20"

For the sake of His kingdom,

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed o

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they
