Title: How much of what you worried before really happened today? Post by: Joyfuldove222 on June 18, 2004, 04:08:11 PM Hi Everyone,
A couple of weeks ago, I saw this inspiring and very different Christian flash movie and signed up to receive words of encouragement at the end. You can see the flash movie at http://www.hyccoaching.com/Flash/movie.htm Two days ago, I got this very encouraging message from it. Just want to share with you. God bless! Joy ====================================================== “Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.” - Dale Carnegie Cool quote, isn't it? Just think of the last time you worried about where you’d be today and what you’d be doing and who you’d be with, etc.. How is your today? How much of what you worried before really happened today? Every problem is a wisdom problem. If you are facing a difficult situation that is tempting you to worry, learn from your own answers to the questions above. Ask God to give you wise solution to your problem. Do what you can do and give the rest to Jesus. Let go. He intercedes for you. Trust Him. God will make a way when there is no way. If this sharing is what you need to hear, I would love to hear from you and pray for you in the next two mornings when I go running. (Remaining Message cut) Title: Re:How much of what you worried before really happened today? Post by: BlackmanX on June 19, 2004, 08:09:14 AM I praise you for your optimism. However, I have seen men and women do far too many horrible things to each other to still see things the way you do. Keep at it. See the light.
I no longer can. All around me, men and women are filled with darkness and evil. It's in the news. In the office. in the school. in the church. in the bedroom. In the home. in the workplace. in the mind. in the soul. There is no escape. peace. Title: Re:How much of what you worried before really happened today? Post by: C C on June 21, 2004, 05:54:43 PM stop watching TV. I can't stand TV anymore. It's too much bad news. Pray before you deal with people that you know have issues with you. You may not be able to make their issues go away, but you may feel a little hope that at some future time they will change their ways. Whenever I find someone that I think totally has so many things wrong with them, I just remind myself that God isn't through with them yet.
Then see what You can do to change the world of someone. If you can bring some kind of good to someone's world then it will make someone's world a little better. You can ask the Lord to point you out to the folks who's world you might be able to make a difference in. I would write a book, but the truth is, I'm pretty depressed about the world today too. The fact of the matter is God told us that we would have trouble. "There's bound to come some trouble to your life. That' aint no reason to be afraid of." God never promised us a rose garden and he never said everyone that hears the gospel is going to be turned into a saint over night. We, as Christians are supposed to be Gods arms and legs in the world, Christ's hands and feet. If we can do some good we need to be able to do it. But we can only do it and take the beatings and still have hope and feel joy despite our physical circumstances if we stay close to Christ. Be in prayer every day for strength, love and hope.

Yes this world is dark and full of evil. It also holds many precious souls that Our Father in Heaven is not willing to give up on including you and me. How can we give up if the One Who created us has not? Darkness cannot exist where there is light. If my little light for Jesus fills even one square inch in this world or brings one soul to Him then I will let it shine. We aren't going to stop Satan..God is...in His time. Our job is to continue to move forward for Christ Jesus even when we want to just give up and let the world have it's way. God loves you and He loves me and He will not let us down but we have to do our part too.I no longer can. All around me, men and women are filled with darkness and evil. It's in the news. In the office. in the school. in the church. in the bedroom. In the home. in the workplace. in the mind. in the soul. There is no escape. peace.
