I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
I Am Found In You

For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard. Acts 4:20 NIV
I know you won't believe me (or maybe you will), but God once paid my electric bill when I didn't have any money in my checking account (and savings account, what savings account?). In fact, God one month paid $2000 worth of bills when I made less than $500. One time, at God's urging, I gave away $100 I really couldn't afford and later that month received a $1,000 I didn't expect.
Having been told I probably couldn't have children, or at least it wouldn't be easy, we conceived the very first try. We named our son Nathaniel, which means "gift of God".
I once lost all my email addressees and could no longer send out my "thoughts" each day. I was devastated. Then suddenly I was approached by Christweb and now these simple thoughts go to hundreds more than they ever did before.
I know you may call all this coincidence, but I can't help but share them with you, because I believe, no I KNOW, they were not chance events, these were specific incidents when God intervened in my life. Actually He didn't have to intervene, He is a vital part of my life everyday.
God is actively involved in shaping my future; the very circumstances of life for me. He is there as my Teacher, my Protector, my Shepherd, my Counselor, my very best Friend.
If you don't have a full, active, vital relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, start today. Tell Him you love Him! Ask Him to increase your love and knowledge of who He is. Grow up into Him! Allow Him to take complete control of your life. Place yourself fully in His hands!
And guess what? You won't ever shut up! You will feel compelled to tell others about His love and grace.
You won't be able to help yourself!
