WHEN GOD IS HARD=TO FIND

 

WHEN GOD IS HARD=TO FIND

Sometimes=we go through

TOUGH TIMES in our life=

When God

Is real difficult to FIND

And it feels like

God is PRUNING AWAY

People and things

In our life=

It can be

DARK TIMES=for our soul

WHEN GOD IS HARD=

TO FIND

“........and everyone that does

He PRUNES=so that

It bears more fruit” John 15:2

Sometimes it seems like we

Are falling away=

When God is in fact

PREPARING US to bear

Much more fruit

It can be years or decades

UNTIL we can look back

And see=the CRAFT

Of God's pruning skills

Even when we RECOGNIZE

How God=has HELPED us

In the past

When the pruning

Is upon us=

God may seem=VERY DISTANT

WHEN GOD IS HARD

TO FIND

He could be

PREPARING you=for something bigger

So that you can

BEAR much more FRUIT

“Is anything=

TOO HARD for the Lord?

I will return to you

At the appointed time=next year

And Sarah=

Will have a son” Genesis 18:14

“When HARD pressed=

I cried to the Lord-

He brought me

Into a spacious place” Psalm 118:5

“Then Jesus

Said to his disciples=

'Truly I tell you-

It is HARD for someone

Who is rich=to enter

The kingdom of heaven'” Matthew 19:23

It is really HARD

When God TAKES THINGS

Away form us

And the more we lose

The more DIFFICULT it is

To find God

What he usually PRUNES AWAY

Are attitudes=and ideas=

Sometimes even people

That we are CLOSE TO

At these times

We have to go back

To the drawing board

And FIND GOD=all over again

But when it is difficult=

When it is HARD

For us=to FIND GOD=

We must go into in DEPTH PRAYER

“Now we ask you

Brothers and sisters

To acknowledge those

Who WORK HARD among you

Who care for you=in the LORD

And who admonish you” 1 Thessalonians 5:12

When God is PRUNING YOU=

Taking things away-

It can be very difficult

But please keep on WORKING HARD

TO FIND GOD!

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our always PRESENT HOLY FATHER!
