Top 14 Bible Verses-Keeping Our Faith in Difficult Times …
“I’m still alive,” she says…
“And my daughter’s still alive…”
She looks up from her wheelchair…
“That’s how I know God is real.”
Her story comes out slowly…
It starts 5 years ago…
When she is pregnant with triplets.
Her boyfriend beats her…
She leaves him…
Finds a safe place to stay.
But the morning sickness is so bad.
None of the drugs work.
“There’s a new drug,” her doctor says.
And the morning sickness goes away.
It will be years before doctor decide not to us that drug for morning sickness…
Years before they understood its side effects…
Two of her triplets are stillborn.
The surviving baby has physical issues that follow her still.
The mom is in a wheel chair today because of a foot injury…
An injury that keeps her from her job as a bus driver…
“But I’m still alive,” she says again.
“And so is my daughter.”
“And That is how I know God is real.”
“I thank Him every day.”
I am stunned by her story.
And even more amazed by her faith.
I wonder…
If I experienced even half of her trouble…
Would I be lost in the pain and hurt?
Drowning in self-pity?
How could I stay focused on God instead?
What does the Bible say?

Standing in belief,, Faith, is the key to the cross over door placed there by Father fr us to enter safe,’
Revelations 3:8, The risen side of the cross of Son as sanctified first for us to be this also, in adoption to us from Father as are his Son’s, daughters included, for there is no male or female, Jew or Greek, we are made equal by Son that died once for everyone to turn to Father in belief to this gift, new life given us to stand in by Faith Belief he is risen, to see this over time, here on earth in tragedies we all go through.
I see me as much afraid, given suffering and shame as guides for me to stand in belief no matter what troubles come up against me.
Then after growing hinds feet in belief that does not quit, even as Job did not quit belief even in his troubles, Father sustained him in himself for David to hold on.
This is for our admonition also.
Even though I died, I am alive, according to Father and Son. In belief from first day, we are sealed by his love and mercy given us through Son.
Unless one dies, there is no life. So I see now unless Christ went to his willing death, no life could be offered, until after Christ’s resurrection from the death he took for us to be new in, as we see 40 days after his resurrection, Father showed up on Pentecost in Spirit and Truth, and salvation began in each one that believed. Still happening today, Father is here in Spirit and Truth, thanks to Jesus taking away all sin first in his one time death. Otherwise Spirit and Truth would not have come to earth to save us in risen Son as started on Pentecost.
Today is your Pentecost in belief to see this given thee from Father freely.
Therefore stand, and continue to even in adversities too. You’ll see eventually, and please put no time limit on it as this world does, which stop man from belief, setting time limits on it to see it.
I tell me this truth, I am not the creator, I am one of God’s creations, from my mothers womb, first born as if God, not knowing I am yet am not, seeing how I and all are first made in the image of God.
But GOD I am not.
I see me as a responder to the creator of all, this earth and beyond
If I create as man think man does, then that makes man God does it not?
If I go to Church, read my Bible and pay my tithes and obey all Law. Does God respond to me because I do it as he says?
If God ever responds to us, by what we do or not do, then makes who ever God responds to, GOD of GOD?
So I see to be a responder to God Father’s love and mercy given me from risen Son for me that took away all sin so I can join in with them as one with them as won for us to be in by belief to what is done for us to do it.
Doers, are the receivers and these do not take credit for self in dong and or not doing
