Re: It is amazing how God gives you what you really need

Hi Sacristia,

I enjoy your posts both as your # and your name (:
Personally, I would wonder about anyone who claimed NOT to have struggles in their walk with the Lord, because we
all do. I don't mean we ever doubt His existence or love.
But, I know I have many times made decisions I knew were
probably not His highest for me. Fear and grief, human
passion and all sorts of things of this world can be
used by the enemy to pull us away. I have fallen victim
to these forces more often than I care to admit.

But, He never leaves us or forsakes us, even when we
are mixed up, or missing the mark. He knows our weaknesses
and chooses to love us anyway. I love to read Psalms so
much, especially lately it seems. This is one I really
have always loved.

Psalm 103

12As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

14For He Himself knows our frame;
He is mindful that we are but dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

16When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.

17But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

18To those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.

19The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all.
