In your case, the 'before' seemed so much better but He even shakes the good to give us the better. I don't understand what all that looks like, but I trust He will reveal Himself to you in greater measure in the time to come. Thankful you're stepping into the new season.

I don't know that I ever really get used to it. For my sake only, I would mightily resist such boldness. For His sake only, I would willingly yield. But when I consider that there are people who need to be comforted with the comfort with which our Lord has comforted me, I am compelled to be open, even when I remember the times my transparency has been violated.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your vision. That day seems such a very long way off, as no more than a dream. When we feast with Him, it is these few days on the earth which shall seem like a distant vapor that wasn't quite real.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-16984642199363833902011-02-07T11:53:21.272-05:002011-02-07T11:53:21.272-05:00Susan ~

As I prayed just now that the Holy Spirit whisper in my heart what to write to you I was reminded of that thought and now it makes perfect sense. It was meant to be shared with you. <br />One day we will be seated with God. We will eat and drink with Him, yes us. That will be our reality and everything He has planned for us points in that direction. Blessed be that day. As we careen towards it with great velocity to greet it, may we smile in our hearts until we arrive.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518718614911804428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-91836299002646626142011-02-06T21:40:12.328-05:002011-02-06T21:40:12.328-05:00I cried unto the Lord and He rescued me ... prayin...I cried unto the Lord and He rescued me ... praying.S.
