I have seen it in my own family and, in the various individual families that make up our whole family network.
But I have also seen God work in my family, answered prayer in the lives around me. And today's graphic sort of sums it up for me. No matter what we do:
Only God can turn my mess into a message
My test into a testimony
My trials into triumphs
My thoughts of being a victim, into being a victor!
Why? Only because of what Jesus did for me on the cross over two thousand years ago. Even then he knew me. For this I do know and believe:
When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there— you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began. Psalm 139:15-16
Think of it. God knew us from the beginning and he knew us from each of our own beginnings. Hard to imagine, it is. But it shows just how great is his love for us, despite our sometimes or oft time wayward ways.
In this series on cults, (and abuse, because that is what a cult is, the abuse of some one that is being taking advantage of)I gave some examples of those that are/were here right in our own country. There are many, many more.
However, its time to switch over to the most positive things in life. What miracles have happened in a persons life, where God intervened. Starting with the next post, I am going to highlight some of those testimonies where God took a test in someone's life and turned it around to make it a testimony. Sometimes, hearing about some one elses triumphs can give us a hope for our own. Praise God!
Thanks for coming, Friends. You are a part of my own testimony because this blog was born out of a test that I did not see coming. Til next time, God bless!
