,I would like to share with each of you, something that God taught me yesterday!!!
Here is my story...
I had a desire to reconnect with an old friend from my teenage years on facebook!!! I was very young, and she was a year younger, when we met all of those years ago!!!
I absolutely adored this girl's personality, so we became very good friends!!! What I have not told you yet, is that she was seeing my hubby at that particular time in our lives!!!
Of course, that was before my time, and I was very excited to see how she had been doing all of these years!!!
Well, I just could barely wait to show my hubby a photo of her, since I wanted to share what she looked like now, with him also!!! I don't know why that I felt the need to do that one
I do have to say that he did not seem very interested in seeing her photo, but I really wanted to share it with him, so he did check it out!!!
After doing so, then negative thoughts began creeping into my mind, such as "what if...he thinks she is attractive, or still has feelings for her...what if he is thinks about her all day long and wishes he had not broken it off with her, all of those years ago..the list just goes on and on...etc. etc. & etc!!!
These thoughts plagued me for the largest portion of my day!!! Then, it was like God spoke to me in that "small still voice" and here is what HE said...
This is Satan who is tormenting your mind!!! Believe me, when I tell you that your hubby is not interested in this girl and that he loves you!!!
All of these negative thoughts are just lies from Satan!!! He is out to torment you, but I came to give you "peace" and it is not I, who is placing these negative thoughts into your mind, but the enemy!!!
I must say that after God spoke these words to my mind and heart, that my day became VERY peaceful!!! In fact, I became very excited about communicating with this lady, once again!!!
I had been second-guessing my self all day long, and allowing Satan to use my mind as his playground to torment me, and I was making my own self miserable, by believing those lies!!!
I confided these things in a dear lady friend of mine, but I did NOT see any peace, until God opened my eyes to the truth and placed HIS sweet peace in my soul!!!
The reason that I am sharing these things with each of you is because God truly is the answer when it comes to all of those negative thoughts, which torment you daily!!!
God is not the author of these type of thoughts, instead, HE wants to give each of us much peace (not as the world gives) but, such a much deeper and a more abiding peace!!!
Satan is the author of fear and of confusion!!! Jesus is the author of peace and LOVE!!!
Jesus came so we could have life and have it more abundantly!!!
I pray this little true story, which I have shared this morning, helps at least one person on this little forum, recognize who is placing these "negative" "scary" and "worrisome" thoughts into our minds, and to recognize these thoughts for what they are (total lies)!!!
I pray that each of you take these things to heart, because God in Heaven knows these things are true!!!
Have a beautiful day filled with much sunshine, joy and laughter!!! Much Love in Christ Jesus!!!
BTW: This very old friend of mine, and my hubby's ex girl friend had a very nice and long conversation via the telephone last night, and we shared some of what has happened in our lives over the past 30 years
Just had to stick this one in here!!!
