"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

WALKING THROUGH THE PAIN


Who would of thought?

God certainly did?

Others certainly did?

And I am just NOW accepting.

Accepting what you say?

Accepting that my struggles, failures, past abuse, hurts, losses etc. can be beneficial to another hurting soul who may be experiencing the same pain I have.

I can now say I can relate. I have been there. I have and am still walking through the pain. But at the same time I can be a blessing to someone else in understanding of working through their own process.

Your words are a blessing to me, being in a similar situation. They let me know that I am not alone. None of us are no matter how isolated we may feel or have felt at certain times through this process. Thank you for being an inspiration.

What you right here, dear JBR surely is helping somebody out there, and this is not only for sharing your past but also sharing with honesty.

Oh my gosh, JBR; you have found a very great purpose as a result of your pain and suffering. Do you think, could it be, well yes, it has to be that God intended for you to be a witness and a life support for others who have suffered like you. YES, YES! You can and you must help others. I can envision the great revelation and I know that it is Divine intervention by the Father, Himself.

Go and give of yourself to others, and pray always for your strength and wisdom in these matters.

I'm very happy for you; this is the biggest breakthrough I have seen since I've been reading here.

Be blessed, dear one,
Abbey ♥

I relate to what you wrote. It reminded me of a saying that I've heard and helps me, “Sometimes He calms the storm and sometimes he calms the child“
