I had a very spiritual experience a few nights ago. I was reflecting on the last year of my life and how bad things had gone for me. Suddenly, I felt that "feeling" and I had the sense of being told "You stopped looking to Me for protection and for help". I was very overwhelmed and cannot put into words the experience.

I'm rembering to thank Him for the good; and ask him for help with the bad now.

It's amazing how God speaks to us at just the right time.. and the feeling of His love for us truly can't be explained. Why do I forget so soon?

(I think I shared this experience on here somewhere).. where a few weeks ago I was praying and distinctly felt God's awesome love for all humanity. Indescribable! It's way bigger than we can imagine.

Thanks for sharing this!

Emotions are a very tricky animal. Emotional deceptions may also manifest themselves through besetting sins in the life of a believer. This raises a feeling of doubt that God is near. Our doubt and emotions should not be allowed to overwhelm us. They cause us to believe that God has departed, when in fact, He is still very near. God never leaves us, we choose to leave him.
God Bless You----
Praise his name!!!!! Thank you Lord God Almighty!!!!!!!!!

It is quite beyond expression isn't it!

'I have loved thee with an everlasting love.' You can never translate that word "everlasting" into English. It simply means that you have got into the spaceless, boundless realm, you have fallen out of time to where time is no more. You have gone out into that mysterious something where nothing can be taken hold of as tangible, it is all beyond you, beyond your grasp, beyond your calculation, beyond your power to cope with it and bring it into some kind of dimensions. That is the word: beyond you, beyond your time, beyond your world, beyond all your ways of thinking and working. 'I have loved thee with an everlasting, timeless, spaceless love.' Did you notice the alternate marginal reading? 'Jehovah appeared of old unto me'? It is, 'from afar appeared unto me' -outside of our world altogether. He says, 'I have loved you with a love altogether outside of our world altogether outside of time and space. -T. Austin Sparks-

Once a child of God always a Child. It's great to know HE never leaves us. Always a prayer away. Thank God for keeping you safe!!

Sometimes, especially when times are hard, it is easy to forget who to turn to. Sometimes, it takes a gentle reminder (or violent shove) to remind us where to place our trust.

We often forget God, but He never forgets us.
