"He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me." - 2 Samuel 22:20
Questioning someone's motives for their activities can become an overriding response to those to whom we relate. Wrong motives can result in broken relationships, poor business decisions, and falling out of God's will. Sometimes we do not know the motive of another person. It is wrong for us to assume what their motive is until we have confidence that we know their intentions. When we respond or react prematurely, we become judge and jury over them.
God has a motive for every one of His children. His desire is to bring us into a spacious place. He wants us to go beyond our borders of safety and security so that we might experience life at a level that goes beyond ourselves. What do you think of when you think of a "spacious place"? No limitations? A large, grassy field? Open air? These are positive images. Sometimes these spacious places encourage us to step out in faith into areas where we've never ventured. Sometimes we need to be rescued by the Lord. When Peter walked on the water, God was inviting him to a spacious place. He went beyond the borders of his boat and ventured into a whole new world. He didn't have complete success in his venturing out, but it was a process that would lead him to the next victory in his faith walk with Jesus. Sometimes failure is what is needed in order to move us to the next level of faith with God. However, we must be willing to fail and let God rescue us.
The Lord delights in this process. His motive for His children is always love. It is always to bring us to a new level of trust and dependence on Him.

We all fail daily and fall way short of the mark.
GOD has allowed this, to refine each of Us to the perfect ONE HIS SON. Follow this path and you learn it leads to a place at his feet as we praise HIM for all he has given freely. Saved by HIS grace and mercy each of Us knows what this phrase means and all the Thanks and Glory goes to GOD. Who chose to save a filthy sinner as me by offering HIS SON as payment for All my sins past present and future. Glory glory to Our GOD for HE alone is GOD.
In HIS service for ever.
Here I am at work and yes I am suppose to be working but these days I could only think of the brothers and sisters who are now suffering for one thing or another, as I said before I really do not write well but I would really like to express my feelings to you and share what God has told me to share.
He gave me very clear 1-John 1/9 if we confess our sins , He is faithful and just to forgive us for our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Also Mark 11/25 when you stand praying if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your father in heaven may forgive your sins.
(hello everyone who didn’t understand this?) did anyone skip this part and turn the page?
If we do not forgive and have anger in our hearts God will not be just with us.
I love you all, God Bless you!
Reinforcement of His TRUTH…Christ promises us hope not only for eternity, but also for this life.
Those times that God does not deliver us from difficulty, we can be sure He is doing a greater work within us.
When we finally reach our eternal home, we’ll recognize the immeasurable value of the faith He produced in us as we kept our hope in Him.
Thank you Lord Jesus for all that you do and for allowing Eleanor to share your truth with us… Keep up the good work,...
Stay excited and keep your eyes on the ONE who matters the most!.......
God is AWESOME!.
