God is marvelous!

The week passed was a challenging one, one that really tested my faith in God. God brought Princess into my life this week, for me to learn a very important lesson in discipling people. Bro ken told me that he was really quite shocked when he saw how I counselled her.I was frustrated.He told me that he had a revelation about me that night. That I really was throwing myself into the counselling too much that I became so frustrated and clouded my thoughts and God's voice.It's so important that when discipling and couselling someone, you need to be calm to hear God's voice, and to allow God to use you as a channel. But I did what was opposite.I counselled her on my own wisdom.Yes, it was all things that were apropriate but yet, not spirit filled. And I really saw the importance of hearing God.I looked back and am glad that God put Princess in my life this week, to strengthen my faith. He told me that discipling, needs alot of faith to put into action, and its a balancing act which I must master. I'm not there yet, but i know I'm walking on God's holy highway, towards that destination.
And I really have ALOT to learn, alot to practice and alot to pray about. But I must focus, for God placed me as an overseer and a shepherd over His flock. I'm going to do greater things for God.I must because He has commanded me to.And I want to grow and keep growing! Well, one thing that must change is how I look at the situation in other people's lives. When they are down and out, I must put myself in their shoes and see how they feel. BUT. I must immediately pull myself out. Because if I don't, I become too emotionally attached, and feel for them too much that the words that flow out of my mouth will be from my heart and not God.
I really thank God that I have the opportunity to learn this very valuable lesson.It's all about God.Loving Him will allow all these to fall in.Because discipling people takes time to learn and master, but I know as long as I stay close to God's presence, I can find the strength and wisdom to look to God and to start to love my people and believe in them.For only when you start believing, can you start influencing.
amen. I love you Lord,I'm not letting go.
