Quite frankly, I need God in my life.
That’s what I mean with “ the complicated details”.I often wonder how much real choice is involved in which wolf to feed. Trauma is so generational.
What kind of rest are you referring to unsafe and when should one rest. It just seems that Jesus' followers suffered greatly. In Luke Jesus told his disciples "they must deny themselves and take up their cross daily, and follow me."
He also said, "blessed are those who are persecuted".
He also told them 'in me you will find peace",
Do you find peace in your suffering, unsafe? Do you suffer at all?
I am referring to a Spiritual Rest ---Not A Physical Rest =======that takes away all burdens of this life -----Resting in knowing God is with His Children in every circumstance and storm that may come into their midst ----bring that peace beyond all human understanding to reside in His Child when chaos is all around them -----Resting in knowing that God is there looking out and after His children ---
Just like he was with David when he went up against Goliath -----David had no fear --or stress--- he was at rest in God knowing God was with him in the fight he was about to enter ---there was no striving to get to the victory ----he used one stone and wiped out the threat -----
I call it Sweatless Victory -----
Matthew 11:28
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Best example of God's rest is -------Jesus sleeping in the boat when the water was rough and coming in the boat and the disciples were in a panic from fear they would sink -----they were heavily burdened by their emotions ----
The Disciples did suffer Greatly---- I agree with that ---and they were empowered by the Holy Spirit to have the Strength and Boldness to endure what came against them -----
An Example of that is ====Paul singing in Prison -----having peace --rest and joy in the midst of persecution -----
I certainly have been tested --that is for sure -and I have become Spiritually stronger going through that testing and I have learned to trust and rely on God to give me the strength and confidence to get through the test -----
As far as suffering Goes ---Not sure what you mean by ---have I suffered ----Suffered from what ----can you elaborate on what kind of suffering you mean -----
There is no suffering under God's Blessings --that I know of -------there is only goodness and prosperity under the Blessings of God -----

No suffering here -----for Born Again Believers ------
I still believe in God, try my best to try and honour Jesus' teachings, Lord knows I've failed many times.....
I trust in God's Grace.
I've not been to church for quite awhile now, but I speak to God everyday.
Quite frankly, I need God in my life.

Ya I have a great example of me being tested -----my partner of 22 years ended up in a Home and passed away and I was told by her Family that they were selling the House and I had to get out ----I thought her Family liked me but I found out different when their Mother died -I had no clue as to what I was to do or where I was going to live ---they gave me 3 months ----to get out ----Lots of pressure here on me ----right -----so I stated Praying about it every day ---and asking God to show me what I was to do ---at first I was very stressed out but the more I prayed the more Peace that was being imparted to me and the more I knew I needed to Trust God in this situation -----one day My son called me who lived in a different province to see how I was doing -----I told him the situation ----and everything fell in place so quickly without any issues to hinder the process ---no striving --no anxiety felt ---everything came so easy and without issues -----My Son and his wife were so amazed at how just everything came together so quickly and went so smoothly ------all just fell into Place ---Thank-you for your reply. Do you have an example how you were tested?
Ya I have a great example of me being tested -----my partner of 22 years ended up in a Home and passed away and I was told by her Family that they were selling the House and I had to get out
they gave me 3 months ----to get out
so I stated Praying about it every day ---and asking God to show me what I was to do
one day My son called me who lived in a different province to see how I was doing -----I told him the situation ----and everything fell in place so quickly without any issues to hinder the process
LOL. Mrs. M might well say the same about Little M. Maybe it's an engineer thing.This plays perfectly into my own mother's insistence that it takes an Act of God to get me to call her.

This situation just made Christ's Faith grow deeper in me and strengthened my Trust and reliance on God to be there in our time of need ----
-My Son and his wife had to admit that a higher power had to be involved in the situation as everything came together so quickly and went so smoothly -----
I now live where my Son and His Family live able to enjoy my Great Grand Kids and go to their Hockey games ---etc ---Living a Healthy ---happy ---wonderful --peaceful ---prosperous life -----just Trusting God -----
Love my life -------

If that is what you want to believe.....LOL. Mrs. M might well say the same about Little M. Maybe it's an engineer thing.![]()
(Realistically, though, it's usually a text from his father that gets him on the line. Does that make me God?)
