Thanksgiving to God

My time here in Hot Springs, before canvassing, is almost over.

God has blessed me with the opportunity to speak here. And he helped me finish my presentation and it apparently make sense according to those who told me.

A little contrary to what I posted earlier, I ended up sharing a message based on the parables of the Wheat and the Tares, I purposed to show the Great Controversy theme through the parable, as well as sharing many other truths.

That was all wonderful.

Another thing that has been difficult is my spiritual battle, here with my family I am once away from school and having to face temptation and exposer to worldly things.

And I am on here going to admit that I have definetly comprimised in many areas, from food, to entertainment and even in my heart. So its not be exactly easy in that regard.

Now I am going to be canvassing for the next month and I want to be consecrated to God, but in a lot of ways I feel like I have failed. So Please pray for me, Im going to need God more than ever for this next month and I have fights feel I am winning and then losing. Its ups and downs, but Im certain after I pray God will comfort me.

I love how that is one of the names for God, the comforter. In the time of failure, in the time of fear, in the time of self-pity and remorse for my own free choices to rebel against God. He is the comforter.

That is a precious thought. In times of despair, to me it doesn;t really matter that God is, all knowing, or the commander of angels, or able to move mountains or control nature. In that moment of sadness and depression, I just want a being to comfort me, and God promises to be that if nothing else.

"Do not worry yourself out of the arms of Jesus, but just repose in restful quietude in His love."

"He bids you come unto Him with all your griefs, your pains, your weakness, and He says you shall find rest. Only believe that Jesus is your personal Saviour, that He pardons all your transgressions, and then rest in His love." 

(Letter 31, 1890, published in Manuscript Releases, vol. 16, pp. 242-244.)

The bible says: "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
"If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;" "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

He is with us, its not complicated, and we have no need to worry, but just to rest in His arms. Such a blessing to have a God like that.

I hope you are resting in God.

Blessings!
