Found this... "Even though..."

"Even though there's $ owing and its hard to come by;
even though my sins keep tripping me up,
even though my brother's heart seems like stone to you... Yet I will be grateful for Your mercy and love - for your patience and gentleness, for your promises to me, for your Holy Spirit that I am becoming more aware of."

"Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Saviour.
The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights."
Habakuk 3:18-19

I found this double sided on an index card inside one of my books; I had put the book in prayer rooms at various places; SLMC, Montclair, OOB and TAM - so lots of people could have written it, but only I got to find it, and keep it. Yes! PRAISE HIM! It's now taped to my desk - the Prayer side up; it was a wee gift to me today.

The Lord has been teaching me that if He says something instead of me questioning Him on it, (no faith required here,) I have to thank Him for it as if it has already happened, (MOVE ON OUTTA THIS TOWN MR MOUNTAIN!) It's a stretch, and a painful, humiliating one at that, but, God is not man that He should lie, not human that He should change His mind.

Sojourner, He has not changed His mind on your brother, it is His desire, He loves him, you love him; fill those prayer bowls with shouts of joy; there is no sweeter incense; when the tsunami comes, (and it's a-coming, HALLELUJAH!) we will know that it was because of a faithful God, a God who is not wasteful; your brother is not driftwood! So praise Him!

Have a good un!
