Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." Both from Ecclesiastes 3.<br />Not knowing is so hard, Joanna. Not understanding nor feeling connected...all hard. But He never left you nor forsook you.

We truly need other believers surrounding us with out love and prayers. I truly need it.<br />Thank you again.

But I have learned one lesson during this time. The unity of body of Christ exists for reason. We are to lift each other up and to encourage each other. May God bless you and be there for you, every moment!Kiittäkää Aina ja Kaikestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264486975627673705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747699127225786513.post-17005990223763392642015-11-14T01:58:31.769+02:002015-11-14T01:58:31.769+02:00Hi Ifeoma, so glad to see you here my sister!

I love this ...Good to hear from you again, friend! I love this George MacDonald quote: "Jesus died to make us merry children around our father's throne!" You have a child-like heart of trust and obedience...even when you are sad and alone. I've been thinking about this verse quite a bit lately and hope you find comfort as well: <br />Psalm 17:15 <br />"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness."<br />I really want to see that everything God does is Right and when I look in his face I don't read any other motive but righteousness. But most importantly, when all is said and done, that I will be satisfied that I was like him: helping, healing, saving. There are so many things I seek satisfaction in, but it is the one thing I long for more and more, to know I am like him.<br />In Jesus' love and service,<br />Charlie LyonJesus Followerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07403205375339466972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747699127225786513.post-13792995960982113342015-11-11T10:00:14.449+02:002015-11-11T10:00:14.449+02:00Hi Joanna,
