♕ Today's Promise: “I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
Since I began working at home, I thought that probably I'll need a different chair, because of my history of tendinitis and I kept it in my heart. As days went on, I began feeling my shoulder aching and the company where I work decided to let the employees bring their chair home 🙂 I felt relieved with this decision \o/
But unfortunately, this decision was cancelled 🙁 my colleagues began to complain and I felt like losing my peace... but thanks God, I kept it to myself!!
The aches became worse and I was trying to figure out how I would buy a chair, I began searching for one at a good price. But I could not stop thinking that my earthly husband is in a very difficult financial situation, because of the pandemic he has no clients in his office and I am the one providing for our family at this season of time. So buying a new chair may seem superfluous given the other priorities we have.
Not only earthly husband could thinking in this way, but me myself can also think and tried another possibilities, one of them was asking the earthly husband if he has a chair in his office to lend me... this was when I had to read Finding the Abundant Life, Chapter 6 “They Don't Have It” to share at our Restored Fellowship Zoom Meeting - wow!!! it was as if my eyes and all the other senses were opened to that reality: I wanted all the blessings to come from Him and no one else.
The afternoon after our meeting, I almost fell into the trap of still seeking my chair from another source... while talking to someone that works for my company's service provider, I found out that they can buy chairs to work at home and that their company will pay for it... ohhh I was ready to talk to my boss about this nonsense thing! How could they and us don't??
But I could stop and remember that the real nonsense I want for my life is what I just shared with my beloved friends in our meeting is that: "I had my Beloved and He was all I needed. At that moment, not only did I stop looking for them to “make it right,” I adamantly did not want anything from them—I wanted all the blessings of my recompense to come from Him and no one else."
In this same evening I heard that I would receive a blessing from Lota \o/ She wanted to pledge a gift to the PTG ministry - wow what a wonderful surprise!!! While talking to my lovely Erica about it and about the aches I was feeling and that the blessing will help me to buy a chair, she told me: "I will be so happy if I can bless you too to help you with that!"
Can you believe it???? At the same day I knew that I could have a new chair from our True Source through the brides, the channels of God’s goodness to me who am in need ... “Many will seek the favor of a generous man, and every man is a friend to him who gives gifts” (Proverbs 19:6). Thank you so much my dearest friends!!!! \o/ I felt so so loved!!!!
I also have an exciting addition to this principle - while I was sharing to earthly husband... I told him that I was gifted by dear friends who knew I needed a new chair to work and he was so amazed in how they can give so generously, and he told me that it was really a gift from God, because, only Him can inspire people in doing things like this. \o/
And yes I truly know how He loves and provides for me and I am so grateful for having such special women around me, we are all trying to live in the way that we "allow Him to be real in our lives, when we truly become His bride. And as His bride, we will want for nothing!"
And this is the message I want to share to encourage you today: "Our Beloved, is all that any woman needs. There is no longer any need to run after a man to supply anything for us or to protect us. And not only will our needs be met above and beyond what we could hope, ask, or even think, all of it will come without pain or shame or regrets. Wow!"
Be encouraged!!!!
