Just 2 weeks ago I remarked to my wife: “Do we need to go through some sort of difficulty all of our life, being repeatedly reminded that we “cannot go it alone”, but need to learn more Spiritual lessons?” Yes, in God’s love, He prunes us so we will bear more and bigger fruit. We read in John 15:2 “….while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” NIV. You speak wisely, Scott, is saying that “I will continue to look into my life in hopes to identify my unfavorable actions and repent seeking forgiveness”. Such an experience is very humbling, to say the least. My heart goes out to you! Also, the world is watching to see how God’s children will handle difficulty. We sometimes do not know what the many benefits will eventually come as a result of a tough situation. I have at times been in a position where God said that I could not grow Spiritually till a certain private matter be cleared up. That may be very difficult! Yet it was the only way to step up Spiritually to the next level of commitment and blessing. The way to a higher pasture is often through a valley; —-yet it is in that valley where the fresh water flows. May you drink deeply from the Living Water, be refreshed, encouraged and strengthened, to proceed up the next slope to the higher level! God loves you, Scott, and He’s not done with you yet.
Let’s pray “Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for helping Scott to draw close to You for comfort, patience and wisdom. My he also find peace and joy. YOU know exactly what he is to do. Thank You for supplying all his needs. Thank You for a supportive family and for friends that are standing by him. Yet, most of all thank YOU for standing by him through all this! In Jesus’ name, Amen. Walking beside you, Alfred.

God is good and yes, I’m very thankful to have come to be one of his children, enjoying the many benefits, ,, peace of mind knowing that he has a plan for me greater than I could conjure up for myself. However once again I find myself in a bind that doesn’t seem to want to be overcome without testing me in many ways. A relatively minor lawsuit against me has had my contractors license revoked and threatens to take away my ability to earn the modest income me and my family have relied on for so long. God helps me to provide but now I’m caught up in discovery mode… what have I done this time to have lost his support and/ or trust? A measly $3500 is really going to cause this much discomfort? I can’t even practice in my trade legally … stuck between a rock and a hard spot. Anyone that knows me knows I can humbly and greatfully work the hardest of projects if thats what I’m faced with. It just seems so odd to me that at this stage of my career I’d be in this bind. I will continue to look in to my life in hopes to identify my unfavorable actions and repent seeking forgiveness. THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING AVAILABLE TO ME ONLINE AS WELL… I’VE ALWAYS VIEWED YOU AS A PROGRESSIVE GOD ALWAYS ON THE LEADING EDGE… LOL and to think Gore was trying to take the credit for inventting the internet. All readers prayers are welcomed. Bless you all.
