☊ PRAISE from Kristine

Dear brides, I now sit on my bed and realize that it is already noon. This morning I woke up a little later than usual. And although I do have some things to do in my household and for the ministry, I haven't done much yet. At least what I would have liked to have done. I learned that I can make a plan. Things often go differently than I thought. After all, it is best to follow the guidance of my God in peace and quiet by the hand of my Heavenly Man. There's no point in fighting against sticking to a schedule. From experience I now know that I have a very dissatisfied feeling at the end of the day. And unsure of whether the work I've done that day will pay off. It is best to obey and follow Him. He will make room for me to do them when the time comes.

Now what I would like to share with you are the blessings I have received from my Heavenly Man recently. He is the best man, He really spoiled me. That's how it is. By reading the book Poverty Mentality I am able to let go of my fears about my financial situation. The fear that I can't buy much for myself only to realize later that I could better use that money to pay bills. But now I recently received an invitation from a relative who is going to celebrate her birthday. And according to the Covid -19, only a few people are allowed to come. She invited me and my kids and together with my mother and 1 of my brothers we will go.

Before my divorce I was used to buying a new outfit for me and my family for every party. But now that I have to do it financially on my own, I never thought that it would still be possible to continue doing this. But you know, dear brides, everything is His, so nothing is impossible. For those who believe they will receive it, when they ask.

I really wanted a new dress. And a pair of beautiful matching ladies shoes. But before that, He gave me the desire in my heart for a winter coat. He led me to a store where famous brands are sold for much cheaper prices. I found the winter coat. But also some beautiful dresses. Three beautiful dresses. After seeing the dresses I asked my Heavenly Man if He would confirm to me if I could get one of the dresses from Him.

The next day I was on the phone with an aunt of mine. The dress came up during the conversation. Through this aunt He has let me know that I have the money for it and He grants it to me. Our God, His favors are new every day and the affirmation I felt in my heart could only be His. After all, my aunt did not know what my prayer was about. The joy was short-lived. The enemy tried to rekindle my fears after I entered the store to see that the dress was gone. Immediately I felt that I had probably misunderstood the confirmation I was feeling. I was already about to leave the store when something said to me. Check the fitting rooms to make sure the dress isn't hanging between pieces of clothing that haven't been sold after all. Dear brides, there hung my dress. My Lord is the best. He has confirmed to me twice, once by His spirit and once by my aunt, That the dress was for me. And that's not all. For He has blessed me with another dress. And a pair of shoes. Isn't my Heavenly Man great. I love Him very much.

I never thought I could have a life where I would be more spoiled than what I had before my divorce. Having made the choice to let go of my fears. I am able to receive all the pampering and love He has for me. For the invited birthday I will appear as a radiant bride of His.

"From afar hath the Lord appeared unto me: yea, I have loved thee with everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee in lovingkindness. I will build thee up again, that thou mayest be built, virgin of Israel. Again shalt thou adorn thyself with tambourine, and go forth in merry round-dance." Jeremiah 31:3

-He loves me. He gives me real joy. He makes me dance.
