♕ Today's Promise: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Genesis 50:20

As I read the encourager daily, I notice something we do quite a bit. We fail to give praise reports, maybe because we don't recognize it as such or maybe we're holding out for a better report. In my case, I just overlooked it, until recently when I was writing a year in review update on my blog then I realized how faithful my HH has been to me throughout this year that I've been on my RJ. So I thought to come here and share my praise report.
To put this in context, my family is spread out over three different continents. I have been living alone away from everyone in a different country for over two decades of my life.
The last few reports I gave, only a divorce has been filed, but in this report, the divorce was finalized mid-year 2019 (I did not attend or participate). Yet this is the goodness of my HH: He made sure I was not on my own when my EH finally carried out his decade-long threat to divorce me. When it finally happened, (1) He made sure I was not on my own when he finally walked out on me; (2) He made sure I was not on my own when I received official communication that legal divorce proceedings paperwork had been filed; (3) He made sure I was not on my own when the legal proceedings were final and the divorce had been granted; (4) He made sure I was not on my own when I had to move from my home.
What's more, to underline His goodness and to bask in His abundance, He didn't just provide one person in all the mentioned instances, He provided more than one person each time, and He made sure they were all family each time. Ponder that for a second and tell me if my HH is not good!
As I press in and grow closer to my HH, I see the real miracle is that He restored me to Himself, for I was hopelessly lost without Him out here in the world and I hadn't even realized it! Oh how foolish of me to try and make my way through life without Him! Now I wake up every morning and claim my mercies for the day, I ask for my daily bread which I find in His word, and He guides me with His spirit in revelations for the day, turning the Logos word to my Rhema.
My HH is my great reward and I wouldn't have it any other way!
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Genesis 50:20 NIV
As my HH continues to teach me His ways, everything the enemy of our soul had done to bury me alive has now backfired on him and his fiery darts aren't so fiery as I have the shield of faith and nothing he can say can hurt me anymore, it all worked out for my good afterall.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." 2 Corinthians 4:16
My HH is my great reward, so though to the outside world it might look like I am losing, quite the contrary, I am the happiest I have ever been! My spirit is being renewed day by day and my joy is complete.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
Since all things are working together for my good, this confirms to me that I am called according to His purpose.
