" GOOD news from our Friend..."

For those of us who BELIEVE that Our Creator is in control, we have a chance to remember
what He has provided already. As I sit here looking around me, I realize that ALL has been a gift from GRANDFATHER  - sometimes he used my dad, my friends, my neighbors, my sons, my ex, even strangers  & the countless unseen angels who leave donations for the community at my doorstep every day ...
He PROMISED He would not permit what we are not able to overcome.... And I am honored that He thinks I am ready for this. I don't necessarily think so, but He does, so I must be

Where there is a PROBLEM there is a PROMISE  that PROVIDES

All things are possible to them that BELIEVE that He is able... we are His children ... & He loves us dearly ... His plans are for us to prosper & not fail.

We're simply left with - Have I put God first? Have I given up on the world's system & my own way & when did He ever fail anyway? 

Have you asked? & Do you trust?

"Ask anything in My Name (character & will) & it shall be given"

Relax, breathe, keep doing what He has given you to do this day & trust that as you lean entirely on Him, you will receive TODAY what you have asked.

What is your greatest need?

EXPECT a miracle & one WILL come to you today. 

Let me know how it turned out!!!!  

You have blessed my life & my journey. I ask for blessings, mercy & grace to be with you.

May you be filled with Light & Love & Peace. Amen (it is done). BD
