We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. -1 Thessalonians 2:8

Listen

God speaks through others to us. Sometimes however we hear what God has said and we don't want to accept it. Naturally we question it. We are clouded by what we had originally thought or what God was been saying to us. We don't take into account that God could in fact be speaking something new and different through someone into your life.

I recently read the story of Jesus walking on the water. Before Jesus identified himself to His disciples things were clouded. His disciples thought that it was a ghost on the water. They didn't understand, they were fearful, the story was unclear. But once His disciples recognized Jesus, things became clear and they could comprehend what was going on. Jesus clears up all.

This is the same when we find out something that just doesn't make sense to us. When God is speaking through someone to us, yet we initially don't want to hear it. We always presume that what we think is the right and what God has told us lately is always the most recent. That isn't always the case. If we just begin to look for Jesus within in the situation then things will become more clear to us. Jesus will clear the confusion and the heartache. He will comfort us especially when we cannot seem to understand it.

These lyrics really helped me in confusion,
"You make, all things work together for my good"



I find comfort in Jesus so once I find Jesus and try to look at where He is working within a situation it will bring peace to the area of uneasiness. There is also an underlying lesson about obedience. When someone shares with you what God has told them, you have to realize the amount that that person has trusted in Christ and being obedient to what they are being told. The ones who trust in the Lord in this way truly are the obedient ones.

"Our limitation is God's opportunity. When you get all the way to the end of your rope and there ain't nothin you can do, that's when God takes over." -Same Kind of Different as Me
