Beloved of All
Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
 
Amen, Sweet Sister.  I once did a study on the word contrite and was so surprised to find it means "ground to powder."  I have to tell you that at a particular time in my life that is exactly what was happening to me. I was being ground to powder.

My first husband had just died, my precious son then became very ill, my mother was beginning to develop Alzheimer's and my Dad had two aneurysm's in his heart. They were all looking to me and believe me I was looking towards the Lord like I never had before.

I have to tell you it was the very worst time in so many ways but it was the time when I got to know the Lord in the most intimate and personal way. I lay at His feet continually and His precious Holy Spirit taught me minute by minute and day by day.

He would whisper to my heart and lead me just like a lost lamb through every hill and valley of my life and all the lives of those around me. I have to say He was so faithful, and He has never let me down not one time not even when I once had a spiritual temper tantrum. You see I thought I had too much on me and He was quick and so faithful to take me to His woodshed and straighten me out. LOL  ouch!  

Bless His Holy Name. I cannot tell you how much, much, more there was to come but little did I know that out in the future the Lord did have a wonderful future planned for me...his name was and is Don. LOL  Praise God all the testing and the trials and being ground to powder... I actually praise God the most for now... because I got to know HIM and about the secret place of the most High and about not trying to box with God because my arms are just to short among many other reasons. LOL  

I cannot tell you how much I love my Lord and Savior and how thankful I am for the worst of times as well as the best of times. You my sweet sister are going to come out of all these testing times shining like the noon day sun and like the Son of the living God whose reflection comes through from our hearts to everyone else if we just trust HIM completely. He is the ONE....He is the ONE....He is truly our All and All.  Hallelujah!
