I love the quote from Neil Anderson. He's written so much on this topic and has blessed me on occasion with his ministry. <br /><br />Keep to the Word this week; I will do the same.<br /><br />Blessings and peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-31342932785951315772011-01-23T17:00:21.369-08:002011-01-23T17:00:21.369-08:00Hi Merana,

I kept expecting you to change and it was then that I realized that you couldn't. What is true for you is true for all of us. We are powerless to change our situation; <i>only Christ can change the circumstances of my life.</i><br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-38485897171726264182011-01-22T18:11:39.123-08:002011-01-22T18:11:39.123-08:00"Never doubt in the darkness what God has cle..."Never doubt in the darkness what God has clearly shown you in the light.”I loved this saying!

What a wonderfully written piece!...Merana - Oh my! What a wonderfully written piece! I'm a huge fan of word picture analogies, and this one was powerful indeed. I especially liked how you pointed out that the darkness has a sound - and it's deafening. Yes, well said.<br /><br />I was also reminded of the wonderful promise - "...neither height nor DEPTH...will EVER be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.com
