Haven’t we all had at least one experience where we question “why me?”

• Why am I faced with this difficult challenge?
• Why did they do that to me?
• Why was I harmed?
• What have I done to deserve this?

Dear Readers,

I am blessed to write for you, because this is how I explore my feelings and find purpose and meaning in God’s Word.  Writing is how I have been taught by Jesus to apply what I learn in God’s Word to my life to experience a freedom in Christ with Peace and JOY &  grow by God’s Grace into a greater Freedom to face, no doubt in this world, more struggles to come.

I share with you to encourage you to write for your relationship with God to grow too.  As you write, you will gain the opportunity to explore your feelings about ____ (anything & everything), but the beauty in writing letters to someone, is that you are writing to someone.  Jesus is always Someone!  This keeps you writing!  If you are writing, you are learning!  And, if you are learning, you are healing and being strengthen by Jesus in your inner heart!

I share with you, not because I am perfect, but this is the Method God has given me to learn!  Yet, this is also my gift God has chosen for me to give to the Church.  To encourage you to seek Higher education from Jesus, whom is OUR very Living Teacher!

Glory be to God, we are all in the same class, with the same Teacher, but we are learning at different levels, according to the purpose in which we are called.

As I share this today, if you are wondering what is your purpose?  My friend, each of our purpose is to come to know and believe in the love God has for us and grow in this knowledge.  The rest is just following Jesus step by step and learning what it is to be in step with the Spirit of Jesus!

Living by the Spirit

(Just you and Jesus) writing can encourage you to take a step back from your trauma; if you don’t deny the truth;  [tell Jesus everything] and learn how to pray to God… with Praise and Thanksgiving (and when we Receive this, we will never be the same!)

… Time with Jesus will create perspective. 

The beauty is that you will most likely never have to share your uncensored thoughts and feelings with people who won’t understand.  Only with Jesus, who is God and already knows your every thought; and already has a method and a plan that is good for you!

Letter writing is a Method to Gain What God Already Knows; Satan’s job is to divert you by emotions from getting delivered!  Press on and write:  SEEK and you will find!

I share sometimes the details if they are mind to share, but rarely, because it is not good in Christ to carelessly share details that can harm anyone.  YET, as we write with God and study HIS WORD that is written to us, we can learn that Jesus has already understood what is going on!

My job is to work on my own heart.  And, so it is with yours… This is where the Freedom comes in our life to really begin to live free in Christ!  Let Jesus do HIS job with us; and also, Let Jesus do His Job with others; and in every situation.

It is my hope that these devotions to God’s Holy Word will, by the Holy Spirit,  stir up the spirit in you to seek God’s thoughts on your experiences to learn that what the devil meant to harm, God will use for the good!

Friends there is more .. and this too shall pass …

HOW?  How can God use that terrible thing for good?  by strengthening you in your inner Peace … Learning what it is to LIVE (on earth) in this broken world as it is in Heaven (as a Citizen OF Heaven)!

Writing with God:

Taking personal note with Jesus of God’s Word for your life will bless you with the opportunity to analyze your experience; and can help you process strong emotions!  Aspects of the experience you have not dealt with CAN BE brought into YOUR greater awareness.

Writing with God:

Talking with a Spiritual Mentor, talking with a FRIEND in Jesus, praying as you seek God’s Thoughts (which are higher than ours, Isaiah 55:8-9)) IS A process which allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings (The Bible says, “do not deny the truth in James Chapter 3:14) SO THAT you can through and by Jesus, (THE MIND OF CHRIST)  re-frame your story, find forgiveness and with the ultimate goal, move forward.

Jesus invites you and me to cast all of our care and worry on Him!  Why do so many of us refuse to let go for so long it seems?  Human Nature and according to how we feel and justify an unjust situation.  … Apparently, we’re not fed up with being miserable.  Can get an amen?  When we get tired of giving our Peace away, we will come to Jesus to be SET FREE!

Prayer starts, God, I know that I can’t run my life on my own, so I humble myself today and ask You for help.  I trust You and give You control in my life.  Amen.

Friends, when you receive this, you will never be the same!

If you would like to go deeper than today’s devotion?

• Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did (1 John 2:6)
• Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did (1 John 2:6)
• Love is a Powerful Life to Life!  (Luke 6:35)
• What is the Meaning of a Letter? Today’s Devotion (Dedicated here @ FGGAM!) (1 John 4:15)

I know this is a lot.  Even for a Willow Tree that requires a lot of water like me … BUT how can we who love the TRUTH survive in this world without learning and sharing what we learn from Jesus Himself!  These are too good for me not to share / or to keep from you.  I HOPE this is a blessing in some way to you too. Thank you for your Patience as I do what is on my heart filled with Jesus to do.

And, there goes that Train Whistle again!

Love in Christ,
Karen

What Is The Meaning Of A Letter? By, Karen Rowe

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1 KJV

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15 KJV

 

We would love to hear from you!

If you don’t know Jesus like this, Come!  Come to the ONE who died for your sins, because God desires for you to come home to be with Him!  Yes, my friend, there is forgiveness, grace and HOPE!  Won’t you receive the Grace Jesus left for you?  Peace, Joy, Freedom from sin and when you Receive this, you will never be the same!  And, when you Come, STAY!  Jesus loves you!  We are praying for you; and when you come, please pray for us as well!  There is more than what you see in front of you!  Look up to the Heaven’s and know God has known you since BEFORE you were even born!  God loved you and knew the choices you would make!  Jesus loved you, because you needed His Love So … Now, all that is left, is for you to come and receive the Mercy and Grace that God has waiting for you.  Believe in your heart that Jesus is Raised from the Dead; and Confess with your mouth, Jesus is your Lord.  God will hear you no matter how you say it, because God looks at and knows the value of your heart!
