Tough Times…

A friend sent this to me, it was so good I am passing it on:

“Once upon a time, over the years a family had experienced some very good times and they had some very tough times too. It was during the tough times they witnessed the Lord Working and learned to trust Him. One particular day during a tough time, the Mom had a phone call that someone had died. She needed to make several long-distance phone calls to let other people know. This was going to be expensive because back then they had to pay for every long-distance call they made.

 It wasn’t very long before a friend “happened” to stopover. Before the Mom had a chance to mention to her about all these long-distance calls she needed to make her friend said, “I stopped over because I was given these prepaid phone cards today. I came over to give these to you.”

Wow, these phone cards were exactly what the Mom needed! Now, this may seem like a little thing to most people but on that day it was a BIG thing for her. It was during that time she came across the Bible verse, “They do not fear bad news; their heart confidently trusts the LORD to care for them.” After this particular experience, along with many others, the family has been learning to confidently trust the LORD to care for them.

ALL who have moments on earth will experience some tough times. God’s Word shares with you several examples of God’s Children going through some especially difficult experiences that would test them and their faith. These sometimes also involved their loved ones. Some may even seem unfair and unjust, that evil appeared to be winning.

Know this, your Heavenly Father has already defeated evil. He IS The Winner, forever and ever! Seems like it would be very smart to be on The Winning Team – The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! God offers each of His Children His Amazing Special Gifts – His Healing Power and Touch, His Mercy and Grace, His Strength and Courage, His Compassion and Caring, His Love, Joy and Peace! He also offers His angels help and protection! WAIT – there’s more…..He offers you to give ALL your worries, doubts and burdens to Him! IS He not AMAZING or what!! What Perfect Love He has for YOU! What Perfect Timing IS His Presence!
My thoughts and prayers are that when you or your loved ones go through some tough times, trust the LORD to care for you and them.

Give Honor and Praise to your Heavenly Father, in ALL things, even the tough times. That you are a Good Example for Jesus Christ for these moments granted on earth. That you are His Extended Arms of Hope. In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen. Peace”
