Be Encouraged After Reading This!! by originalking1(m): 10:33pm On May 01, 2016 |
On Saturday I urgently needed to fix my cloth as I
needed to appear smart where I was to speak
that day. I took the cloth to my tailor and asked
him to fix the little opening near the pocket.
The man turned the cloth inside out and then
began to TEAR the pocket with his hands... Hah! I
was like, "I said you should sew, not tear".
So I shouted, 'You are tearing my cloth o'.
But he replied "I KNOW".
Those two words sank into me like a heavy stone
sinks in water. I couldn't talk again.
He's the tailor, and I'm just a customer. Even
though I couldn't relate tearing with sewing but
the Tailor says "I KNOW".
God is saying, 'I KNOW'.
He hears your complaints.
Father, My fiancee just left me... 'I KNOW'.
I have no man to pay my fees... 'I KNOW'
I was rejected at the embassy again... 'I KNOW'
I have no money to cater for my needs... 'I
KNOW'
So many times when the Lord is fixing us, He
starts by 'tearing' us. Tearing our confidence in
ourselves, Tearing all our philosophies, Tearing
our pride and fake humility, Tearing the things we
call dear and giving us the truly dear things.
The only thing necessary is wisdom. Wisdom to
know when it is the Lord and when it isn't the
Lord. The devil tears to kill, God tears to Fix. God
tears the old to give you the new.
God's tearing fire only refines His own. God's
tearing approaches only yields the peaceable fruit
of Righteousness.
So in reality, God tears no man, He only makes.
We call it tearing, He calls it Making. We call it
breaking, He calls it building. He knows you have
need even before you ask. That's why when we
complain... He responds thus: 'I KNOW'.
For I KNOW the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of
evil, to give you an expected end
-JEREMIAH 29:11
Trust God.
My cloth came out better. You are coming out
better too.....!see you at the top.
