I've done a really "good" job of getting myself to a very desperate place financially. I've had times where I've been in despair, where I've condemned myself for my past choices and believed there was nothing worse I could do.
I'm not sure what's changed lately, maybe I'm listening to my Father more, or believing Him more fully, but He's given me a peace I haven't had before. I truly believe it's not that I'm denying I've gotten myself into a really rotten situation. I believe it's that He's given me a new outlook, a new perspective. Yes, I'm in dire straights financially, but the reality - HIS reality - is that I'm still just as loved, just as valuable, just as forgiven, just as redeemed as I was when Jesus died for ALL my sins. I think this is the first time in my life I've whole-heartedly believed Him when He says He loves me with an everlasting love.
Thank you, Abba!
Jn 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
1 Tim 6:6-16 "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desures that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus...I charge you to keep this command without spot or blameuntil the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time - God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen"
