There was a time that I didn’t know how much God loved me.
I wasn’t’ sure of His love for me at all. I couldn’t see it or feel it.
Today when I was praying I was feeling His love so heavily.
I asked myself…”how do I really know that God loves me?”
Of course we know because the bible says He loves us.
But it is way deeper than that.The first reason I know God loves me is because the more that I have studied about God and found out who He really is…the more that knowledge became real in my spirit and revealed truth to me!!!!! The power of the Holy Spirit supernaturally confirmed this directly to me!! God has a supernatural way that He communicates with me. I know that I know!
So for me….the more knowledge that I know about God…the more I feel His love and why He let Jesus do what He did for me!
The second reason I know God loves me is because of all the past miracles He did for me and also for the many victories he’s given me.
If I’m a Christian and I don’t know how much God loves I will faint…stumble….and doubt in His abilities to see me safely through my life. I WILL BE A VERY WEAK CHRISTIAN!
I really needed to share my revelation with you today. Be strong in God’s love! God bless you!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this powerful revelation, Tanya. A phrase from the hymn “Now Thank We All Our God” has been especially meaningful to me lately: [We thank God] “for countless gifts of love…” I’ve thought of so many gifts of love from our heavenly Father to me, for example hearing just the right song on the radio that encouraged me when I was fearful–just one of the “countless” gifts of love. Bless you, Tanya!

Thank you so much for posting this today. I so needed to read it and re-read it. I’m sorta in a holding pattern and have been for over a year as to what God has in store for me to do. I pray and beg him to guide me so I continue His work but I know He has other plans for me. Waiting and patience is so difficult for me. It’s been extremely painful for me during this time. I know He wants me to be doing something but as of today He hasn’t revealed it to me. I know He loves me but I feel I may be praying the wrong prayer. My faith has suffered so much because of this period of my life spent waiting.

Dear Brenda, Thanks for stopping by this blog. There are FEW people God speaks to and gives clear direction as to what ministry they are to do. If you can sing…then you know you should join the choir. If you can cook well…then you would join the kitchen detail. If you can teach…well you get my point.
God does not want us to be anxious about anything…even helping and serving Him. You start out by joining any group in church that you have an interest in or skill for and just do it. When others see your faithfulness and trustworthiness…you will be asked to do other things. There will be things you get involved with that you find out…is not you. You just bow out and move on until you find something that is you. God does not keep you guessing. God tells us in His word to take care of the orphans, widows the poor etc. So we know He wants us to do something there. He wants us to share the good news…so that’s another thing. Most stuff we do for the Lord are lots of little things like helping friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. Don’t look for the thing….but do….something….anything and be content with the doors God opens…no matter how small. Do all in love.
Our blessing Him with service is for our heavenly rewards and is our worship to Him. There is no set big ministry for this.
Brenda….you seem like someone who cares…so flow in that…flow in Gods love that you enjoy in Him. It takes so little for us to please God….He already loves us perfectly so we can’t go beyond what we already have. Rest in His love for you. Enjoy His presence. Things will just flow out of you and you will walk in ongoing worship and service to our Lord. God bless you my precious sister in the Lord! Peace be with you always.

Thank you do much for your encouragement. I am involved in my church with several different areas but for 3 years I volunteered withe homeless in helping them obtain housing, getting on programs to help with whatever their needs were. I even helped to start a weekly Bible Study for the homeless women and was able to use a church downtown to meet. However I had to pick them up and drop Them off afterwards. Then because I felt they were hungry I always took plenty to eat and with help provided Bibles for them. I normally spent an hour driving to get them because my car could only take 4 plus me. So it was all day affair just for a couple of hours if Bible Study. Most mental problems or substance abuse problems. I honestly thought we were making a difference but then I became more if an enabler to them than a help because I found myself literally doing 24/7 for them and the fact that I didn’t live downtown but about 30 minutes away it became expensive and so time consuming plus they literally drained every ounce of life from me. I was trying to do this alone and felt for the first time that God had led me to do this and I’d never felt so led before. To make a long story short I finally turned the group over to someone else who was better qualified to teach and understand their issues. But she didn’t take food or pick them up do they all stopped coming within 2 weeks and in turn felt I had betrayed them. Then my best friend died suddenly along with some other critical family issues that was brought on by the time and expense I had used for the ladies downtown. I simply didn’t know how to stop doing and giving for them so therefore they basically abused my kindness and instead of bringing them closer to God by trying to set an example of helping them it simply backfired. I had put myself in situations in their lives that was actually dangerous because of what they considered normal was not . But I’ve never felt such a presence of God during that time because I felt He had put me exactly where I was needed. I didn’t know how to draw a line with them between helping and enabling their dependence on me to take care if them. I felt as if I let God down or maybe just didn’t listen to Him and others when I should have. Now I feel He is telling me to wait and be patient which is so hard. I volunteer once a week thru our church at a area nursing home for patients with ahlzhiemers and I love it. I help with a children’s group at church and attend a women’s prayer group once a week. But still I feel such a need to help others who are less fortunate. There are times when I pray and I don’t even think He heard me and yet I know He does and maybe I’m not listening. Please pray that I will just “be still, patient and not stay so discouraged” while waiting for Him to speak a and guide me. Now as you noticed I have mentioned “I” many times I. This lengthy response. It’s not about ME but what God wants me to do. I think I was my worst enemy during the times helping the homeless because I didn’t take the advice given to me by many so therefore I did go it alone and now I’ve learned a lot of lessons. Maybe that was His plan all along. I do enjoy your blogs and thank you again for responding so kindly and helpfully.

My husband and I started a ministry in 1985 called the Noah ark ministry. It was to help the poor and needy. Yes…people will take advantage of your kindness and you need lot’s of discernment and wisdom.
It’s great that you did what you did. It is good if you can do that within the confines of a ministry that deals with that for your protection. If your area of gifting is the helps ministry then continue to do this…but under someone’s guidance. You know you said all of the answers in your post…so you know just what’s going on with you.
Dear God I ask you to give Brenda a quiet spirit and guide her on her life’s journey of service to you…in Jesus name…amen. God bless you!
