God is love

God is Love

2 March 2009

I, have lost my very successful career and most of my earthly belongings. I believed I was a Christian but I talked the talk but did not walked the walk. For months now I am struggling in a sea of debt, desperation and anger. I was so close to giving up all hope. I blamed our Father for not taking care of me. I spoke to a friend of mine one day and he told me that if I serve a God in my mind who will cover me with wealth when I need Him to do that – I serve the wrong God. I was shocked. I was terrified. And then I realised that He is not what I wanted Him to be, He is LOVE. I started to trust Him, rather to beg Him. I started to pay my tenth rather to steal from Him. I started to wait on His answer rather to demand a solution. I still have a long road ahead of me but I will keep my Father with me during my travels.
