What if.....

What if....the lights went out....the power went out....and what if....it never came back on?
What if in his Holiness God said, "that's enough. It is time for it to stop. I've tried for years to get your attention, but you won't listen  So I'm going to allow something drastic."
What would that drastic thing be?
In the severity of that thing, whatever it may be, would we see His gentle hand? Would we see compassion from the God who loves us? Would we see his presence manifest in our crisis?
How would we change? ...Would he prepare us first?.... Is he preparing us now?

The Bible says we are aliens in a land not our own, sojourners just passing through, on an adventure we haven't quite reached. We should look at things in our lives as temporary pleasures, things for which to be grateful but things that we can actually leave behind. Our sights should be set on our real home Hebrews 11:13. Make no mistake, God has prepared a place for us and its nothing like this one :)
Sometimes the letting go is hard. We kick and scream and cry and plead with God to give it back. Our loved one who died, our good health, our home, our car, our bank account, our comforts.
But sometimes He loves us too much to do that. We often forget that God knows what is best. Sometimes he needs to guide us to be more willing to look toward our true purpose anxiously waiting that day HE promises. The place where all our ultimate comforts lie. The place where we will be welcomed as HIS dearly loved children long awaited. 

Doubting Gods plan for your life is simply a lack of faith. Actively trying to fight against it is a sign of disobedience any way we look at it. Whatever awaits us we must keep our faith and remember Gods promises. Don't allow anyone to convince you of something that isn't in Gods own word.  He will not forsake us xoxox God Bless

 Revelation 21:1-7 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
