First and foremost I want to talk about God's loving presence in my life and how that has sustained me through the dark and ugly times in my life. The times when I lived through emotional, physical. sexual and spiritual abuse as a child and as an adult., The times of physical and emotional pain so fierce that I didn't think I could bear another moment of it and wanting to end my life. God was always there and never left me even during the times when I turned my back on Him. Those are some of the saddest times in my life and by the grace of God I did live through them and today I am a whole person, living my life for Him.
There were many times in my life when there was happiness and joy in my heart such as when my three children were born and my grandson as well and when I met my three step grandson's plus the many happy times we have had together. There were also happy times of falling in love and getting married, the times of achievement, the times when I was blessed to help someone in some way, but the greatest times were when I sought out Jesus and grew closer to Him. The discovery I made in Him changed my life.
You see, I discovered that when I took the time to seek Jesus Christ my relationship with Him grew and so did the peace and joy in my heart. When I was too busy with "life" things and stopped spending time with my Father God I would start to lose my peace and joy. Wow, what a revelation!
It's simple really, but we tend to complicate everything! God really asks very little of us and why is it so hard sometimes to put Him first above everything else and to find time each day to pray more than a quick little prayer asking for something we think we need or want?
Today I am healed of the physical, emotional and spiritual hurts that I endured and I feel loved by God, my family and friends and I have even come to love myself. What I used to stress over I do not anymore, what I used to do to feed an emptyness and lonliness is no longer needed because I have let go of unforgiveness and old hurts, let go of insecurites and allowed God to bring true healing into my heart. God has healed forever the hurts, pain anger and unforgiveness that I hid in my heart and those have been replaced by God's love to overflowing.
My life is not perfect but I have learned while sitting at the feet of Jesus that no matter what is going on in my life that how I go through it is more important than what I'm going through. God fills my heart with so much love everyday that I no longer feel the pain that sometimes comes in life. My mind and heart and all of me belong to my Father God and Jesus Christ.
God's calling on my life has always been to help others especially to teach them His Truth about how to live life and to live it abundantly. God wants to bring healing into your heart, your mind , your body and your life in many ways and He never wants you to be sick in any way. That's why He created these amazing bodies we live in and when we love and take care of them they will love and take care of us.
God's leading in my life to research and study natural healing methods has brought a great understanding of how we can live life abundantly in excellent health The choice is always ours because He gave us the right to make our own decisions, but if you truly want to be healthy the way God intended then you will do what is necessary to do just that. The decision I made for myself was to stop living as the world lives and start living as God intended.
God wants to bless each of us and restore our lives and Blessed and Restored is all about teaching and encouraging just that. God has a plan for all of us and He patiently waits for us to come to Him so He can shower us with His love and heal our hurts.
