He will never leave you or forsake
you
God will know
your heart and deliver you in times of
trouble!
"Blessed is he who
has regard for the weak; the Lord delivers him in times of trouble.
Over 30 years ago, God
blessed me greatly through a terrible ordeal when someone came to me
who wanted to commit suicide. I was naive and inexperienced to handle this situation
to say the least.
This whole incident was a big
misunderstanding and should not have happened to me in the
first place and was blown way
out of proportion. The person did not
commit suicide, and the family invited me over for a home
cooked meal afterwards which I accepted as well as this family went
to Church with me afterwards.
"Though he stumble, he will not
fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand." Psalm
37:14
One Million Suicides each
Year
God has a way of making us turn our
eyes towards Him, and this dramatic moment in my life was
no exception. I have only been out of high school for a
couple years. For the first time in my life I could not turn to my
parents for help and guidance since they were visiting our relatives
over a thousand miles away. I don't know the measure of pain and
grief nor the amount of tears that have flowed down my face
asking God to help me and from the elation of praising Him for
showing me just how real He truly is.
"We felt we
were doomed to die and saw how powerless we were to help ourselves;
but that was good, for then we put everything into the hands of God,
who alone could save us." 2 Corinthians 1:9
I have devoted an entire
chapter in my book to this in the hope that other people will
understand that in the lowest moments of their life, that God will
never leave them or forsake them one time. All we have to do is put
our total trust in Him and do it His way.
"Many are the afflictions of
the righteous:but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. Psalm
34:19
Looking back over the years, I have
learned that most people of faith who go through adversities in their life, will sooner or later turn to God for help, sometimes we almost wait until it's too late,
where our hope is amost gone and our faith is so fragile.
"Don't be bewidered or surprised when you go
through the fiery trials ahead, for this is no strange, unusual
thing that is going to happen to you."
1 Peter 4:12
I believe that there are more people
who glorify God from the adversities in
their personal lives when they see the power of prayer lead
them to total victory over their obstacles
and problems than all the gold, diamonds,
and money combined.
"These
trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is
strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests gold and purifies
it- and your faith is far more precious to God than gold; so if your
faith is remanins strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery
trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day
of his return."
1 Peter 7
Because of this Biblical truth, I do not
regret having to go through any of the life's experiences that I
have been through,no matter how painful they may have seem at
first. The truth is I would not be the faith based person that I am
today if I was not brought to a place again and again that has
reshaped my life to seek and desire to have a much more intimate and
personal relationship with God.
For surely, O Lord,
you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a
sheild.
Psalm
5:12
We must never forget those who
are wrongly accused
It is now 2008 and I glorify God for blessing me for
never have spent a day in jail convicted of a
crime or incarcerated in prison. I will not
begin to say that I understand someone's grief and sorrow for
spending years in prison or jail, I
do understand their sorrow and grief of being falsely
accused.
"Loose the chains of injustice and untie
the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free. Then your light will break
forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly
appear." Isaiah 58:
6-8.
I thank God for given me a new heart that is
truly willing to love you instead of judge you. When that day comes
for me to open the doors to the people who are truly hurting inside
because of their pain, suffering and grief. Who need someone to
truly help them heal with unconditional love and total forgiveness.
Who needs to show them the way of seeing a God that will never leave
them or forsake them one time.
"I will never
leave you or forsake you." Hebrews 13:5
I am that man, for my faith has been forged by
the baptism of fire through the hottest fires of adversity. My very
heart and soul leaps for joy knowing that there will be a day very
soon where I can share your tears, griefs and sorrows of the
personal journey that you have endured. To watch our Lord and
Savior, at the very lowest moment of your life, dust you off from
going through your own fires of adversity.
As Jesus looks you straight in your eyes, and
smiles as He says to you, "Were going to get through this
together because I will never leave you nor forsake you."
"The Lord will protect him and preserve his
life; he will bless him
in the land and not surrender him to the desires of his
foes. Psalm
41:1-2"
