God is Lord and I know He knows the path I take and will be with me. I find myself crying out in these days and yet, like you, He can give a song in the night. I definitely remember singing that song and still do sing it. Those were good songs.

It is HIS Word that accomplishes the truth of His message to our hearts. We are only the conduits through which He ministers to those around us...and His Holy Spirit teaches and comforts us...that same love and mercy overflows to others, through whatever means He chooses...our blogs, facebook, prayers, writings, one on one visits, He has a million ways...and we just have to be obedient and willing to allow Him to work through us His way and in His time. He's in control...I am just a vessel for Him to work through. What a privilege and joy...even in the midst of sorrow. Thank you for being a co-laborer in this vineyard. (((hugs)))Pamela M.

Yes, God always brings us through and you are correct, our trials and tribulations are often God's way of working through us to help others in their times of distress. We serve and awesome God...our Strength and Salvation! Praise the Lord for His merciful kindness toward us, even in the midst of sorrow.Pamela M.

He has a purpose for each thing He allows in our live and it's up to us to learn to trust and lean on Him. I love how you make spiritual truth so relevant to us today!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483833008527417306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-77885020884984605182016-10-24T03:19:55.157-04:002016-10-24T03:19:55.157-04:00God has been speaking to me this morning also, tha...God has been speaking to me this morning also, that He alone is my strength and my salvation. Thank you very much for reposting this testimony. My son died 20 years ago, and it is amazing how God brings us through, and then uses us to bring comfort to someone else.

What an amazing word for the year you chose, with the help of the Holy Spirit. You needed that grace, and you prayed for it. <br /><br />I am so grateful that you feel the Lord with you, and that you can turn that into encouragement for all of us. Blessed be God! And you are blessed to open yourself up to him. How happy he is with you!<br />Thank you,<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-25647995295588069142014-10-27T06:48:26.115-04:002014-10-27T06:48:26.115-04:00Thank you for your insightful thoughts this mornin...Thank you for your insightful thoughts this morning. You have blessed me with these words of affirmation. I never thought of it quite that way, and it has opened my eyes to see what God is doing beyond myself.
