Good afternoon.
I am amazed at Gods absolute grace toward me.
He puts up with me as I complain my way through life... I think that He is trying to teach me though. That I will need to do all things without complaining.
Right now, my life is not too much fun, but God continues to provide for me... I am not working as a nurse, but I have a job to go to every day, and people in my life. I have food in my belly, and to my amazement a roof over my head, none of my bills are late quite yet, and I am hopeful that a pay check will be on its way soon.
When I was working and making a more comfortable living, I was constantly complaining... I was trying to find fulfillment out of my job, instead of looking for it in the Lord, I knew that I was doing this, and still somehow unable to "fix" the problem that I was facing. My God is all knowing though, and took me out of the position that I was in, humbling me so that I was forced to look to Him.
He teaches those He loves. This I cling to, knowing that I will one day... day by day, look to Him for all that I need, and showing others their need as well.
All in all,
God is good. Despite my circumstances, despite me, God is good, because He is God.
Philippians 2
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[c] Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
