A few years back, I felt I had lost everything. My best friend - TopicsExpress

A few years back, I felt I had lost everything. My best friend deserted me in the middle of my divorce, I had no house, no car, no job and I was years away from graduating college. My life was a hopeless mess. Looking back, I now see that God was stripping me of every soul tie, every material thing that would bind me to debt or something else that would control me. God was taking my life apart and reconstructing it. It was painful to say the least. I cried from the depths of who I was. Its only now that I can see that every little thing I thought I lost has been replaced with Gods gifts! My life is full of good things. God does not want us to be tied to things or people who keep our focus off of Him because He knows you wont get your best life from those things! Im reminding myself but somebody else needs to hear this; Let Go of EVERYTHING. Give it to the only One who can make it perfect. You DO NOT want the desires of your flesh that do not line up with the PERFECT will of God. That only leads to unhappiness, loneliness and hurt! Go through the fire and be refined. Dont live in the desert! #notestomyself
