  • @namrata6678
    @namrata6678 26 днів тому +6

    I learned that God can use things that not only offends me but crushes and hurts me. Just a little while ago I was crying thinking I was not loved enough, no matter what I do and I opened yt and watched pastor Steven's short where he says offence is an event and offended is a decision, let's live by the salvation we claim. And I talked to the Father about how I needed His personal love and He showed me a very powerful thing, He showed me to build my identity on Him and know how much I am loved by Him and not humans cause they are limited, they can only do and love that much, don't compare humans to the One who created them. He has shown me enough mercy and grace in the past and even now to be with Him. And that enemy always uses your insecure emotions to bring forth actions that you regret later, always BUT GOD can use that too. But meanwhile you get wisdom from that and show the enemy The door. Amen

    Thank You for this. I have struggles only God sees, and you have been a blessing that God has given to me. I believe he put you in my life's view to help me focus my energy to continue to live his path, regardless of my struggles. Thank You.
