His promises are Yes

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee."

I was so blessed when I read this scripture today. How awesome a God we serve! To be assured that all His promises will come to pass. They are a yes, not a maybe or probably but YES. He has sealed us with His spirit as a guarantee that we belong to Him.

No one can take us from His hand. Why would anyone choose to leave Jesus? What does satan have to offer that surpasses God's promises. Absolutely nothing!!

I remember many years ago when Patrick told me how he met a man in Haiti who was telling him that he had been a Christian but left God, quit the church, etc. He told Patrick that some people in church had severely wounded him, and he couldn't take it.
Patrick asked, "What did God do to you to make you leave him?"
He answered, "No some people in church wounded me and I just walked away. I couldn't take it." Patrick looked at him and asked, "So God didn't do anything bad to you, but you left Him because of what people did to you?" He had no response for that.

We forget all too soon how faithful God is, and blame Him when people hurt us.
God's promises are YES. We have his spirit. It is our guarantee.

It is moving week. As I am writing Patrick is on his way to Miramar with the loaded UHaul. He will return to get me and his children. Again thank you all for your prayers for this move.

God bless you
