Jesus, Your faithful love guides me, and I live by Your truth.

Messy or Magnificent, This Family Day Is God Created
This IS the day God has purposefully prearranged for us in our family life and every divine appointment is God’s way of creating His best work. Whatever we find ourselves meeting up with on this day in our family life, we know without a doubt, it will be a way that we will know God’s best for us and our family. If it is a messy way, we activate our faith and we patiently-hopefully endure, for God’s message to be made from it as we put all our expectations in His capable hands. If it is an incredibly magnificent way, we muse about the miraculous, praising Jesus and shaping a message of God’s glory for all to hear, for all to see. Either way, messy or magnificent, today will be the workmanship of God’s best for our family, because without a doubt, God’s way is always the best way for us. Messy or Magnificent, On This Family Day, Everything Is From God In His Divinely Purposeful Kind Of Way!
The disappointments of life are simply the hidden appointments of love. Author ~C.A.Fox
A Thorn in the Flesh~ Because of the surpassing greatness and extraordinary nature of the revelations [which I received from God], for this reason, to keep me from thinking of myself as important, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to torment and harass me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me; 9 but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore,I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. Amplified Bible 2 Corinthians 12:7-9
as bending low, He kissed my brow,
“For One who loves you thus has led.”Just rest in Me, be patient now,
your Father knows you have need of this,
though, why perhaps you cannot see—
grieve not for things you seem to miss,
the thing I send is best for thee.”
Then, looking through my tears, I plead,
“dear Lord, forgive, I did not know;
It will not be hard since You do tread,
each path before me here below.”
And for my good this thing must be,
His grace sufficient for each test.
So still I’ll sing, “Whatever be
God’s way for me is always best.”

A Family Message For Your Family Mess
Is your family life in a mess? This is a message for your mess. Stop focusing on the mess of the human condition and focus on the perfect messenger, Jesus, Who is bringing a miraculous message from your purposeful family mess. Do you feel the family God has placed you in or has not placed you in, has created a life handicap for you? Do you wish you were born into a different family? Do you wish your family had been given a different life path? Do you wish your life had gone a different direction? Will you stay focused on Jesus? Will you be the one to patiently endure the family mess and change it up to a family with a miraculous message of God? Listen up:
“Are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, never ask your opinion, always push you aside? “This is My doing”. I am God of circumstances. You did not come to this place by accident~you are exactly where I meant for you to be.” Author~LB Cowman
Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn’t get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan’s angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn’t think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me, My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 The Message
“Today I place a cup of holy oil in your hands. Use it freely, My child. Anoint with it every new circumstance, every word that hurts you, every interruption that makes you impatient, and every weakness you have. The pain will leave as you learn to see Me in all things.” Author~L. B. Cowman
