God's grace

i consider it grace that GOD doesn't (didn't) give me everything i asked for. the things that i've discovered lately only strengthened my resolve that i could really entrust my whole life to GOD. that HE indeed knows better.

years ago i fell in love with this guy that meant the world to me. i thought i couldn't live life without him. i prayed and prayed for GOD to restore our relationship but He didn't say yes and instead gave him to someone else and he ended up marrying that girl. i stopped going to church after that incident, thinking that GOD's so cruel in not giving me what i wanted.

but by GOD's grace again, i found myself looking for another church after years of not going to one. i got myself into trouble and made lots of wrong decisions during those times that i was away from GOD. but then HE led me to my new church, the one i'm still attending right now, and that's where HE started changing me.

GOD's showing me over and over again that HE could be trusted and that HE could run my life better than i could.

after knowing what had happened to my ex-bf's marriage, i really am thankful that GOD didn't give him to me.

thanks for the unanswered prayers, DAD! remind me always of the fact that U only have my best interest in mind. and thanks for the overwhelming feeling of joy, peace and contentment... knowing that YOU will never leave me nor forsake me. i would never trade YOU for anything nor anyone, FATHER!
