Blessed Example
Here is a little bit of my testimony that I
felt that God wanted me to share with your readers. I have
been struggling for quite sometime because of an illness
that I have. I am in constant pain. There are days I just
want to stay in bed and not get up. I was upset, I was
angry, I didn't think I would survive, I just wanted to give
up. Then one day God showed me, my two beautiful children
and a blessed by God husband that I have been given. That
life doesn't revolve around me and my illness. My life
revolves around God, my husband and then my children.
Exactly in that order.
When I started focusing more on God, my husband and then my
children things seemed to start to turn around...but that
wasn't all. One day I was reading various things on this
website and saw where someone was struggling with past
things in their life. I realized that there were things in
my life that I haven't dealt with yet. Rob from
Answers2prayer started sending me steps that I must take in
my life...not just simple steps but steps that were heart,
mind and soul changing. Steps that I knew all along that I
would have to take to make a difference in me. No one else
can change me and no else can save me and surely no one else
can heal me. God is the one who has changed me, God is the
one who has saved me from me.
I have a different outlook on my illness now. God controls
this illness, not me. I don't give satan credit for my
problems or illness. There isn't time to give satan credit
in my life. I have time to give God all the credit and glory
for everything in my life now, yes even my illness. This
body is but a vessel for my spirit to live in until I can go
and be with the Father. That doesn't mean that God won't
heal me and that I don't believe that I won't be healed, but
God has a plan and I am so grateful that I am a part of that
plan. You see not everyone can have a perfect body and not
everyone will be healed. So, if I am not healed I am a
blessed example that God is using, and if I am healed, well
I will be a blessed example as well. And when that time
comes it will be a glorious time for me either way in death
or in healing during this life.
I give God all glory and praise for the life I have been
given. I just want to thank Answers2prayer, especially Rob
for helping me and allowing God to work through him so that
I may see clearly. God bless,
Debbie
