#Testimony time
#Not me but Jesus
As a FGB, whenever I share my problem, my friends suggest me that I'm already doing good and GOD knows my situation bla bla... which I usually don't like to hear. I was hurt by a harsh comment from a dear one last weekend. And though I took it to the Lord and forgave that person, still the pain and hurt didn't leave me for 3 days. Can't forget. It was hard for me to get over it. Tears rolled down my cheeks as those words came to my memory again n again. I thought repeatedly that it was like *floods of Noah* to me and I couldn't even pray. Some other unlikely events from past too flashed in my mind.
Tried calling few friends but to my dismay none answered. I thanked God for that as well as I can depend fully on Him alone. Told Him that I couldn't pray and wanted someone to pray. And made a point to myself that I called for prayer and not to lament.
And connected to my wimh partner with whom I've never shared personally. She *prayed and shared* one of her life event(how God has been her help) and God spoke clearly thru that.
Tadaa. Felt much better and wanted to recite ut1.
While reciting God spoke me through Promise *Isa 43:1,2, Isa 41:10,Isa 40:31* that *He'll be with me when I pass through waters/floods*. Held back my tears and finished reciting.
Then God reminded me that *His word* is like a precious jar of perfume unopened( *sword* unseathed) when we don't use it. When you speak it over your life's circumstance it'll spread it's aroma and chases away the stinking lies of satan/rotten truth from past. God answered my question how to use the only offensive weapon in the armour of God practically and how essential is to put it on everyday.
I thank God for guarding my lips not to react in rash/anger (though am tempted to say) and for sustaining and guiding me by His word.
And thank God for allowing this situation in my life that *I can fully trust Him alone* more than my faith, grace in my hubby's eyes.
*Lam 3:22*
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
