Wow, I just learned something, or can I say the lord just checked me? You decide. I met this lady who just happened to be homeless, and we became friends. Well, me being the type to person that I am when I see someone in need of something I just automatically reach out my hand to help or point to some resources, if I can. which I learned was my core purpose in God. Well, anyways, I extended my hand to help look for an apartment for her because she didn't want to live in a shelter or transactional home. Plese don't ask why. Anyways, as I was doing my research and running these apartments by her, I noticed that she kept saying no to a lot of them, because they weren't by her storage which is where she set up her camp and please don't ask me why I didn't offer her to stay with me, because that's a whole other story. So, I got a little frustrated because I explained to her that she doesn't have to worry about how she was going to move her stuff to her new place if she's far from it. I told her I would help with my vehicle which is how I moved in my new place and what we can't do God will provide. She said OK, but yet still didn't want to accept a place if it wasn't by her storage. Well, as we all know that "Beggers can't be choosers." So, I said to her that I if I continue to help her, she has to promise me whatever door God opens up for her she will walk in it. Now I know for a fact that if we trust God, He will place us where He knows what's best for us, because He withholds no good thing from us whose walk is blameless or upright" Psalm 84:11. So, she promised, but I tell you what. Since then, all she did was complain and keep saying she didn't want to move far from her stuff. OK, the storage thing again. So, I keep explaining to her for the ump teen time about trusting God and when God sees that you will accept something from Him that's out of your norm. He sees your heart and will bless you with your desires just like Abraham when God seen that he would sacrifice his son for Him, He provided a ram in the bush. The same thing applies in this lifetime with no exceptions. I ended up telling her since she keeps choosing her stuff over the will of God and what He has for her and due to the fact since I've been looking there's no apartments available where she wants to live. That I can just stop looking and move forward putting my time and energy with someone else. She agreed. This is the part that I learned something, or God checked me. I texted her saying. "I see that you love your stuff more than God or what He has for you." Well, God spoke nicely to my mind and heart saying, "so did and do you". WOW! He kindly reminded me of when I was on drugs, I met this nice guy who wanted to take me away from all and take care of me, but when he came to get me, I said no and didn't go with him, because I knew that I would be away from my drugs and friends. Then God reminded me of my present life, how I sometimes love sleep more than communing with Him in the morning. WOW! I agreed and asked God to forgive me. Then I texted my friend back telling her that I didn't mean to point the finger at her because I've done and still do sometimes choose things before God.
Lesson Learned😔
Lord Help Us All,
