As I open my Bible this morning! 🥰
God is so faithful! I have been struggling hurting within and without. God’s word is my comfort and he knows exactly how to get me every time:) I don’t know if this is biblical but I sure do believe God is able to do above and beyond what we could ever ask or think. As I am reading proverb, I am reminded through a still small voice Trust in the Lord, with all thine heart ❤️ I begin to cry because it’s not the same as when God is speaking to me I feel as if God through the power of the Holy Spirit allowed Grandma Petrick to pop in this morning. To encourage me! This would not be the first time this has happened either, Great is thy faithfulness and Roman’s chapter 10 came across me at work as I sat next to a dying woman who dedicated her whole entire life ever since she was 15 years old to being a nun in the Catholic Church. As she lay next to me in a coma like state, all I could think of was how disappointing it would be to give your whole entire life to this religion to die and end up in a burning hell, and as I sat there, I prayed Lord would you help me talk to her. Romans 10 so I began to read the Bible. I had my small New Testament with me Praise the Lord. As I read the Bible to her, I explained to her the scriptures. I could sense that she was getting upset with me. I asked her “please don’t get upset with me”. I’m trying to help you, but it’s ultimately your decision. “she calmed down”. I continued on reading and then I asked her a question. I said I know you can’t answer me, but I know that you can hear me. If you died right now in this very moment do you think dedicating your whole life to being a nun would get you in to heaven? I spoke gently, just remember what we read in Roman’s. Sister Pauline, you know that answer now the answer would be No. it was so amazing how she reacted as she laid there. She was only using facial expressions not able to speak, It was almost like she was stumped and couldn’t argue. I told her I will pray this prayer and it’s up to you to believe in your heart 🙏 and accept Jesus ask him to forgive you of your sins. No amount of communion no amount of baptism no amount of church can save you. It’s only the one who paid your sin debt that can save you and his name is Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God not the priest not the Catholic Church
