Dear Bety,
Thank you. You are right, nothing is going to be changed.
This is not what I said. You misread what I wrote. I said "Know that though things
may not seem to change."
Promises - Savior
Of all the 12 Apostles only one died naturally. All were put to death in one way or another. Do you believe that they felt they were unloved, uncared for, not listened to?
You have Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus here who have prayed for you. Is their concern for you more than the concern that God has for you? Is that what you truly believe?
I'm sure it is not, no matter how difficult it has been for you. Let it out and cry unto the Lord! He is there, and He is hearing you! It is important even in these times to remind yourself of the promises we have to look forward to.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
YBIC

This is how you must be!
[Psa 3:2-6 NASB] 2
Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. 3 But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. 4 I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. 5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about.
[Luk 18:35-43 NASB] 35
As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. 36 Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was. 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he called out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 39 Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him, 41 "What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, I want to regain my sight!" 42 And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well." 43 Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
Though it all may seem hopeless. Realize that hopeless is not who you are in Jesus.
[Rom 5:1-11 NASB]
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and
we exult in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only this, but
we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;
4 and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;
5 and hope does not disappoint, because the
love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood,
we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
11 And not only this, but
we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Rejoice sister even if it's through the tears! Rejoice that you belong to Him!
[Rev 21:1-5 NASB]
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
4 and
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."
5 And He who sits on the throne said, "
Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "
Write, for these words are faithful and true."
