I Know of Someone Going Through a Discouraging Time

Going Through A Discouraging Time… I know of someone going through a discouraging time. Thoughts of “giving up” have entered his mind. As a young man, he tried to trust God with what he had. Now he’s upset with God. Very angry and mad. “How could God who’s so loving and faithful...” “Not help me now?” “He doesn’t seem very helpful!” Rather than trusting God with his problems and uncertainty. He missed out on God’s love, peace and tranquility! His life spiraled down, with really “no where to go.” He felt so empty, with no peace in his soul. He shifted the focus of the uncertainties in life… Blaming God for his many troubles and strife. Through the good and bad times, God is still the same... He remains faithful and true. He doesn’t change! He remains dedicated to being there… Just for YOU! His promises never change, no matter what others do! Allow him to prove his commitment to your well being! His words of life… You too can be receiving! His love for you is everlasting, and will never end. God is. And will always… Be your best friend. Please... Right now... Make the best choice! Listen to his words! And listen to his voice! He’s at your heart’s door. Waiting for an invitation... He can bring to your life completeness and restoration! By Jim Pemberton 12/04/11

I too know people that have fallen away because of problems that have arose.I try to tell people God only gives you what you can handel.He wants you to rise above and conquer.But they fall away with hate because they are to weak.Or are looking to take the easy street.And we both know the devil is always right there with directions.Very heartfelt write Jim.

I've seen people play the blame game, when things are going wrong. It's sad, that they loose their trust in God during this time. Human trait, perhaps?....A need to blame someone else. Enjoyed the poem and happy to see it end with a reminder of the One who can restore !! Enjoyed !!
