Reflections on Gratitude and Abba's Guidance

I'm grateful and humbled to be living in this country surrounded by wonderful people. I often reflect on how far I've come and acknowledge that it's through divine grace that I've overcome previous challenges. As I strive to progress in life, I know there will be more hurdles to overcome.

 

In the words of one of the Apostles, "Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own... forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on towards the goal of the Heavenly call..." (Philippians 4:12-14).

 

Abba's Love For Us Is Unstoppable

"We cannot shut off, stop, or in any way diminish Abba's flow of love towards us. No matter what we do, we cannot cause Abba to stop loving us. Nothing can change the way he feels us." - T.D. Jakes

The way Father Almighty expresses His love for us is totally different from the way people or our leaders do it for us. Man's love has lots of conditions, especially if we are in an organization, not in a family.

We Are Thankful For Our Children

By Ianpassion

Time flies!

Abba says that our children are heritage and reward from Him (Psalm 127:3). Yes indeed, they are! That truth is totally different from the existing ideas around us. For them, their children are their property but for us, our children are our heaven's gift. So we cherish our children more than we own them.

What The Father Almighty Wants Is Intimacy

"We cannot shut off, stop, or in any way diminish the Almighty Father's flow of love towards us. No matter what we do, we cannot cause the Almighty Father to stop loving us. Nothing can change the way He feels us." - T.D. Jakes

Our Almighty Father shows us His love in a very different way than other people or our leaders do. Man's love is subject to many restrictions, especially if we are part of an organization or an institution rather than a family.

Say What You Heard To Keep The Right Attitude

It hadn't rained in the Promised Land in more than three years when the prophet Elijah heard The Father Almighty say to his spirit, "rain." But, no matter where he looked, there was not a cloud in the sky. It is impossible for it to rain.

 

Elijah could have reasoned, "I'm not going to tell anyone what I heard." They'll think I'm insane." But he was well aware of who Abba is. His ways are familiar to him. In a drought, Abba will talk to us about rain. In times of adversity, He will speak to us about provision. When we are weak, He will speak to us about strength. It is most of the time opposite of what we feel or think.
