God said he would never leave you or forsake you.

Also when it's time to grow more mature in the (WORD) we get stopped being treated like Children. You have a choice to start believing what God said, in his Word, and stop saying your not as blessed. That is not even faith.

Mat 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Mat 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
Mat 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

This is wonderful to have Jesus come to your home, and heal someone. Jesus is right there to make sure everything is OK. That is not what happened though.

Mat 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Mat 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

The Centurion said I am not worthy for you to come, besides I know authority when I see it. Just speak the Word only and my servant shall be healed.

The centurion did not need any warm fuzzy feelings that God was there and smiling at him. He trusted in the Word, and knew the Word would take care of his servant.

This really got the attention of Jesus.

Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

When I started out as a Christian, the first few years God just blessed me, and I felt that closeness to him, as time went on though, I found I had to actually read his word and just believe what he said.

This indicates that God would have more, but we need to be in a place of trust and faith to get what he would like to do. So, silence causes us to seek, and with that Get answers and get in a place, God can start to move on our behalf.

Jesus Is Lord.

The things you seek are not necessarily what the LORD wants for you. In the end, He knows what's best. The fact that you have asked God to take over your life should be testimony enough that it isn't His will for you to have a family.

Please understand, His purpose is not obvious to us now. In the end, He will show you how beautiful it was for you to ask Him to take over your life. Many Christians don't do that. They only give a little, and He loves them and works in them as much as He can, but it isn't nearly as glorifying as it is when a child of His surrenders completely and is willing to simply let Him have His way with them.

My wife and I have tried to have children for almost 10 years now. We trust the LORD, and He has not allowed it to happen. There is a reason. We cannot see the reason. We look through the glass dimly, but eventually He will reveal what is now unknown. Trust Him, it's for the best.

I pray the LORD give you peace in your heart and comforts you in all your afflictions that you may rest knowing what you've done is purely God's will and beautiful in His sight. In Jesus' name I pray.

It's so incredible to believe that we are all related to Adam and Eve. I truly believe if Adam and Eve had rejected Satan's 'pick it and taste it' fruit proposal then God would have continued to create male and female adult couples like Adam and Eve from dust. Children from women pregnancy would have been a non-existent reality and God would have sent Satan along with his annoying sin to another universe where it's impossible to return to Earth.
Having a family is like having a valuable jewel and that's understandable from a human point of view. As from Christ's point of view, we believers are all related to Adam and Eve as brothers and sisters of Christ, although our true future new glorious minds and bodies of Christ will soon be our pride and joy once Jesus has returned in the future, hopefully very soon, in these times of financial heartbreak...
So that Satan can be defeated and sin can be deleted as we socialize together in peace and harmony in God's most modern and most massive place of Community: the Kingdom of God on a new oceanless planet Earth where Christ's supernatural joy will be so over-joyous, our hearts will be so very positive and our faces so very always smiling.:*:.

Here dear sister larkins lies a question I dare say all of us of asked!! Ah some like myself more then once!! In fact I was so upset about this one day,I fasted for 3 whole days no food or water!! I was going on this scripture at the time!( Matt 11:12) I was mad you see.I do not ever feel I deserve to feel ignored by my own Father!! And!! I will not stand for it either!!LOL So much for me!!

Along about the evening of the second day of this Holy Spirit came unto me in a dream. I was standing alone before the throne of God,there was not a soul around!! Not a soul! The throne was somewhat hidden from my eyes,this was because of not the Lord,but because of myself. You see because my feeling were hurt I drew away, as Mike and jari spoke,God cannot forsake us

.And as Mike also spoke,Jesus is always just a page away! His Word! Then as i was kneeling there a written Word appeared above me.It said this Colossians 1:15-23. Just like it says in your Bible. Upon reading then hearing this Word,as I spoke this outloud as I was reading. A cloud of peace appeared to hit me where I was praying.

From this cloud of peace Jesus spoke this. I hope this will also help you!" When you feel as if I have gone,I am watching you!( Jeremiah 17:10) a scripture the Lord has really pounded into me!! 99 times out of 100 if we feel this way,it is only because Holy Spirit in us feels as if we could be into more prayer,or more time spent looking unto our Lord! The other one percent means,the enemy is once again lieing to our mind.

Stealing, robbing, as his HIS!!! nature! ( john 10:10,John 8:44) How much time do you think I need with you mark? A few minutes a day? perhaps maybe an hour if I am fortunate to receive such time from you? Time spent with me,means time to gain more and more knowledge of me.

And with this present,my faith which works in you becomes more and more perfected. Like that of gold when it is put into a fire.( 1 Peter 1:7)" Have you ever seen gold made? I have,when gold is put into a fire it turns red,then different colors until finally the gold is so purified,it shines so bright, that one can see themselves in it!

That is what Jesus is doing to us,if we let him. What we see with our own eyes is like looking into a mirror darkly.( 1 cor 13:12) But when we allow ourselves to spend more and more time with our Father,the less darkness we find ourselves in! "

So Now what do you wish to do Mark?? "And with this I awoke! LOL WELL!!! My heart was full of such joy,as the Lord took the time, HIS TIME!! To place MY TIME to HIS!! So I now am never thinking along these lines!! NEVER NEED TO! It is the Lord reminding me of what i already should have been doing!!

Giving more of MY TIME,to make HIS time,mean more to me! We spend time on what we wish to spend time on! Truth which can be sad to find! Until we take our time,and spend this time more upon who created us,and yes loved us!

The Word is not presented to us,to hold up other books,it is presented to us, to always be before our eyes,in our mouth,so we in turn can help others! OR!!! LOVE! An action.Love is many things, but love does have one real need!! To always be reinforced in us!

Can we ever have to much love?? LOL I have never found this to be true! Can you be loved to much?? NO!! Nether can our Father which is in heaven.And this is what he is telling you as well! May this both comfort you larkins, and present to you a thought.

How much time are you giving the Lord in your life?? I sure judge you not!! I only ask what you only know the answer to! Finally the Word, from God's own Word for confirming comfort unto you Sister!!( Philippians 2:13-16) It is not by my own wisdom I speak on these things to you,I do not have this kind of wisdom in on me!!

But I do have this wisdom IN ME!! From Jesus in me! That is because I take the time,to seek Jesus more and more in my own life. What?? Does this make me better then the rest who are here?? LOL NEVER!!!

But Love is an action,which needs to be reinforced daily!! Daily in God's very Word! It is by DOING this,we grow in more knowledge of our Lord,and for what purpose? So we can in turn give this love unto others who so need this! So they can see, and hear with there own ears,Jesus not self!amen!

Almighty God...via his Son...Jesus Christ, is all around us all the time and is ready to interact with us in a way which, currently, defies our understanding. What we need, more than anything else is the strength to cope, regardless what the free and easy forces of the planet set upon us. Often theses dubious forces of man tells us that we have to work very hard for peanuts. Other times they tell us that authority can speak to us with a snarl and in an uncaring way. They say that unless we are self-sufficient we have no rights. This is in direct opposition to what Jesus told us. In a family we support each other...care for each other...are prepared to help each other...be kind to each other. If we are not being treated this way then unChristian forces are at work.

It is best to follow Jesus Christ accurately...build up the righteous strength he offers us...realise that those who make life difficult are in opposition to Almighty God and then realise that God's Judgment, which will put all these things right, isn't far away.

Our greatest need is God's righteous strength and meekness and righteous respect for Jesus Christ will deliver this.
