Please read this chapter "Embracing the Poverty" dear Brides, it may be that the whole chapter will bless you, that you will learn a very valuable life lesson or it may be that a phrase or a specific paragraph will touch your heart and change your outlook on life. Read it with an open mind and an open heart and see how you will be blessed in the midst of your trial.
Embracing your trials and embracing the poverty was a very foreign concept to me. How can I embrace bad things happening to me, but when it comes down to it, it is really all about being thankful for everything we do have. Being content in all situations and not looking at what we don’t have but what He has blessed us with.
When you embrace it all telling your Heavenly Husband that in the midst of what is happening in your life you can be thankful because you have so much. To start with, you have Him and that is all you need, but He gives us so much more than just that. That is when He will give you that peace you need and maybe the world will see that you don't have much, but I can guarantee you what they will see more, is your reaction that in the midst of what you are going through, His peace and love shines through you.
I need to tell you that there was something very specific that I needed to read in this chapter, "Embracing the Poverty" that has been on my heart for a while. The author says in her Financial Testimony:
"**Remember, whenever there is injustice, God promises double. Divorce is an injustice to the children, so I always tell my children to anticipate double rather than worry about the apparent destruction."
WOW!!! This touched my heart so much and made me cry because of all that has happened these past few weeks. I was really upset that my children are suffering because of what we as the adults are doing.
And here my Heavenly Husband gave me the answer I needed. Be at peace my Bride because I will bless your children double for the mistakes the parents made. Thank You my Love!
My first reaction to most of my trials is feeling sorry for myself then I go to Him and He comforts me. It should not be like that. I should go to Him first and skip the whole feeling sorry for myself part because I trust that He makes all things work together for my good.
Let us pray: My dear Love, thank You so much that I was able to read this chapter. That you opened my eyes to that specific paragraph. Thank You for letting me know that You will bless my two dear children double for all they are going through. I am very excited to see what You have planned for us. I know that even when my children are not with me all the time, they are with You and safe in Your hands. I love You so much. Amen.
While I was reading this chapter the Lord reminded me of the verse in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
Dear Brides, as I mentioned earlier for each of us there is a different lesson to learn from this chapter. For you, it may be something totally different than it was for me. What I learned is how grateful I am for what I have and how I can get excited because my Heavenly Husband will bless my children double for all the injustices that have been done to them.
Please come in, read this chapter for yourself and let us know what He has taught you.
