Being Thankful

Everything happens for a reason.I am thankful for all the good but mainly the bad that has happened in my life.It has taught me to rely on God,and has allowed me to experience his mercy and love on a personal level.So when people see the light that I have that only his presence can give,I am able to share his goodness and testify of his love firsthand.The fire and power of a testimony!Thank you Lord for each trial for it has truly sharpened my sword of the spirit,which is your Word inside me.The Holy Spirit truly teaches my fingers to fight and my hands to war! There is power even in just standing!Trusting in the lord to perform his promises is often times more powerful than full fledged spiritual warfare!Waiting and trusting knowing that the one who gave the promise is faithful to perform.
