The Goodness of God
Yesterday morning after flying for more than 18 hours across 3 flights, Lorelle and I were joyful to be picked up by my son and mother with him in the car. As we travelled home, our son played some music that took me back to 2007 and 2008. Thematic music which spoke of trouble, sorrow, conflict and finally triumph. In a flash I relived those days of great struggle, could I give up everything I knew, could I be certain that all my mentors and men I looked up to were wrong about the Trinity. It was a great conflict in my mind. Loyalty to my church up against the blazing truth of the Son of God. Many of the confrontations between myself and my colleagues and friends, sprung to life in my mind...
So much has happened since those days, so many precious things that Jesus has shown me. Often when I think of our our beloved and gentle Father I just weep. I wonder when His suffering will end, and I pray to live only for Him, just like His Son.
Our trip to Argentina was a great blessing, and along with every advance there have been tests. One time I just held Lorelle's hand as we wept enduring Satan's wrath but with each blow, with each strike of his whip allowed to fall, I feel more determined. He can't quench the love in my heart for Jesus. Nothing is more precious than what Jesus has shown us. It is worth all the suffering, separation and hardship.
Many of you are facing hardship, isolation, health trials, loss of those you love. My heart goes out to you. I can't promise all will be perfect, but I know Jesus will deliver us.
I can say as I look back that I have been baptised in the goodness of God. His mercy has always been running after me, and it has been and will be worth it all. I pray our Saviour will comfort all of us. Satan knows now that he can't stop this message. He is furious and he wants to destroy us. Jesus shields us from many blows but not all. Let us be patient and glory in the light we have received and we shall triumph at last. I am deeply thankful for all of you and I pray you are are blessed this Sabbath and are comforted by the truth we worship a Father of pure light with no darkness at all. What could be better than that? Love and blessings to you in Jesus gentle and beautiful name.
