God does not need any one of us.
He wants us and He would like to use us, but God does not need us.
Take away one person, and the work of God is not diminished -- it goes on.When God calls us to a ministry, it is for our benefit. If we are unwilling or impure,
He can get the work done through someone else.
We must realize that everything God asks of us
is ultimately for our benefit -- even serving Him.
Moses is a good example of that fact.

"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry." Psalm 40:1 (NIV)
The journey out of the pit of depression is a process of steps uniquely planned by your Father. He is the Guide for your journey out of the darkness.
1.Wait for God.
In Psalm 40:1"I waited patiently for the LORD."
* I had always thought of waiting as passive and even wasteful. *
waiting is active and can be a powerful spiritual experience.
>>>To wait means to accept the pit
When hard times come, we immediately begin to beg and bargain for rescue - for a way of escape. God loves us too much to waste our pain. It is a shallow love that always rescues easily. It is a depthless love that always rescues quickly.
*weakness and helplessness are an invitation for the power of God to take up residence and display itself in our life! *
"He gives power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak."
*God was totally aware of everything that we are feeling. *
Instead of hiding or trying to rationalize the darkness away,
we must be willing to admit that we are struggling with depression.
Pride always hinders authenticity.
Emotional health begins at the point of emotional integrity,
when we can be truthful enough to say to ourselves and to others "I need help!"
*We cannot be right until we choose to be real. *
the
sharing
of the crisis
lessened its grip
on our lives.
*We were created to share our burdens with each other. Isaiah 35:3-4*
"Strengthen those who have tired hands, and encourage those who have weak knees. Say to those who are afraid, 'Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you.'"
We need each other.
* A shared load is a lighter load.*
Transparency brings healing and
Authenticity yields restoration!
2. Talking with Him
Peter 3:12 "For the Lord is watching his children, listening to their prayers."
The darkness called forth the most childlike prayer of my life. Day after day, night after night, I poured out the questions I had always been afraid to ask, my deepest fears and greatest pain.
The darkness called forth the most childlike prayer of my life. Day after day, night after night, I poured out the questions I had always been afraid to ask, my deepest fears and greatest pain.
It was the most honest and powerful prayer of my life. I began to fall in love with the One who created me in my mother's womb and set me apart for Himself.
*When you spend time with Him, you will love Him and learn to know the sound of His voice above all others*

Today's Truth
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I made you in your mother's womb, I chose you." (NCV)
Beginnings are very important!
My journey - like yours - began in the heart and mind of God. Before I took even one breath, God wanted, loved and planned me.
You are NO accident!
There have been many times in my life when I doubted my worth and value.

You are NO accident!
There have been many times in my life when I doubted my worth and value.
I filled every waking moment with activity -- good things -- thinking that if I did enough good things, I would be good enough. It didn't work.
I can never be good enough to earn the love and favor of God.
The good news is that I don't have to be!
My worth and value rest in the fact that I am chosen by God to be His very own child.
I am loved, wanted and planned by God Himself.
Wow!
God Himself supervised our formation. We were created -- not to be a puppet -- but for an intimate relationship with God.
~Psalm 139:14-16 ~
"I praise you because you MADE me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have DONE is wonderful. I KNOW this very well. You SAW my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother's body. When I was put together there, you SAW my body as it was formed. All the days planned for me were WRITTEN in your book before I was one day old." (NCV)

Probably there were somw moments in time, i was trying hard to earn the favor and love of God. I worked very hard at being the person I thought God wanted me to be instead of seeking Him to discover who He created me to be.
>>God may ask,
"Ginna, who is going to be you if you don't be you?"
I had to stop and think about that statement for a minute, but slowly began to realize wat that means..
DO u think that sometimes we just try so hard to potray the kind of person that the *hard to pls*world(family/bosses/friends) is wanting us to be?
feel beautiful to be the kind of person that you truly are..
"But when I am afraid, I put my trust in you." Psalm 56:3
God really does have a special plan just for me-
i'm so precious and that
my highest act of obedience is to
seek that plan each and every day ...
HIs love that rescue me... to bring me to His original intention. my ONE desire is to be the person GOD has DESIGN me to be..
........................................................................................................................................................
Today I realized..
LIFE without God serves no purpose in existence!!
Apart from him I cannot do anything..
Words can’t express out how I feel
*I feel so loved*
*captivated by this LOVE(agape) that is so tangible.. embracing me..every moment… every sec*
This love is all sufficient 4 me that I would not bear to trade this love from other sources!
We all need this LOVE so that we can LIVE!!
This LOVE is so amazing you got to EXPERIENCE it to know how it feels
*its that same kind of feeling when you
found the RIGHT person to fall in love with!*
This LOVE is available to RESTORE your world
in the CITY that you live in so that you can LIVE victoriously!!
*Greater things yet to come.. Greater things are still to be done in YOUR life* ^_^
span >YOUR LIFE>> belongs to Jesus!!
to hold on(whatever we have) is to perish>
