Times of Refreshing

As the rain falls from the heavens refreshing the land, I'm reminded of all the tender mercies God refreshes and extends to each of us every morning; and I just can't help but declare, "What a Gracious, Loving, Caring God, Who Loves Us Beyond Measure!" "What a mighty God We Serve Who watches over His creations and provides all that is needed for its good!"
I have some friends who seem to be battling obstacles that have arisen in their life and I just can't help but remind them to take them to the Lord and trust Him to work things out. God does not bring bad things upon us, but in our weakness He can take the bad and work it around for our good; but only if we trust Him and lean on Him during the wait; because God's timing is not like ours, and the answers we are praying for may not always be for the best, and God wants ONLY the best for everyone's life. That reality can seem hard to bear when it goes against what we want in life and what we think is best, so with hesitancy we secretly refuse to trust wholeheartedly upon His will, and for things to be accomplished in His time. What we forget is that God knows our needs, He knows our desires, and He knows our intents; and yes, He even knows the secret things upon our hearts; so learning to trust Him in all we do, in all we say, and in all we seek answers for, requires total trust in the God Who created us and all herein.
I pray that whatever you may be in need for today, whatever may be pressing heavily upon your heart, and whatever may be clouding your mind; that you can come to trust God and rest in His Loving Arms as He works all things out for good. Remember that He is your Heavenly Father Who Loves you beyond measure and knows the desires of your heart, even before you ask; and as you pour out your heart to Him and then allow Him to give you the best in every thing that surrounds your life; you will feel His Love surround you and all your worries will become faith as you relax in Him to work it all out for the good of all involved.
I pray that just as the rain falls from the Heavens refreshing the land, may God's grace freshen your heart, your soul, and your mind and give you peace as only He does best. Be Blessed, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~
