What A Mighty God we Serve!

[burgyeb]

Hi Sofia:
I am so sorry to hear that you were feeling so down & were in such pain. I pray that you are feeling better. I thank God that he sent His servant to you,and that her arms became His arms for you. It is very painful to be homebound. My mother was home bound after her stroke. I took care of her in her home. It hurt me that my mother was unable to leave the house. After I got her signed up for Access A Ride I was so happy; I felt like my mother had graduated.

I am thankful for you Sofia, because you started this much needed thread in the Ebid environment. I am praying that God will continue to hold you & comfort you & heal you & bless you in every area of your life.

Hi Everyone,

I too am thankful for this thread and the enjoyable posts and support for others on here. There is so much in them to uplift our spirits and help us through the day.

Sofia, I do hope you are feeling better and that you will be up on the hilltop again soon. The valleys can be rough and sometimes it is a long climb back up to the top but it is usually such a blessing when we get there. It is wonderful that the Lord knows just when you need one of His special helpers to come around and share your load and no doubt you friend received a wonderful blessing from it too.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Oh, long and dark the stairs I trod,
With stumbling feet to find my God:
Gaining a foothold bit by bit,
Then slipping back and losing it:
Never progressing, striving still,
With weakening gasp and fainting will,
Bleeding to climb to God: while He
Serenely smiled, unnoting me.
Then came a certain time when I
Loosened my hold and fell thereby.
Down to the lowest step my fall,
As if I had not climbed at all.
And while I lay despairing thereby.
I heard a footfall on the stair,
In the same path where I, dismayed,
Faltered and fell and lay afraid.
And lo! when hope had ceased to be,
My God came down the stairs to me.

Lovely. He meets us at the point of our need. Whether we are up or down. What a good God we serve. Praise the Lord!

How right you are!!!!

Sofia I am praying for you too and God can help all our needs even if it should take a miracle.

"If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another" ( 1 John 1:7 ) There is support in the fellowship thread Sofia started here.

I was thinking of Sofia this morning, that she may be under attack by "the enemy" because she did start this thread.

We (members of this thread) are certainly in agreement for God's richest blessings to surround Sofia so that she will be totally blessed (satisfied in everyway) spiritually, mentally, and physically. In other words (whole/healed). Thank You Lord!

Amen!

I think you could well be right and one thing for sure it has not made 'the enemy' a happy camper so that means we will just keep praying. Sofia did something wonderful here to praise the Might God she serves and God will bless her for it. The enemy will do his best to see that she doesn't receive those blessing easily --- all the more reason to back her with prayer.

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
