Job revisited ?
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 7:21 pmActually , Just thought I'd say hello to my favorite page.
Hello Page !!
I dont know , was on my way to the university, the thought of Job went through my mind . Of how I responded with sarcasm , at him the first time I read it . Saying things like "what a whiner" or " what a miserable soul this guy is !" and so on .
What did I know ? But, - considering that nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake - He had planted the seed , for with further reading I kinda got a grasp on the msge, but it wasn't until joining OASIS that I got a chance to actually discuss and study it w/fellow COOLies that ( unbeknownst to me) I was actually being prepared to play Jobe's role in my present time in life.
I dont have the suffficient vocabulary to express my gratitude to everyone here @ OASIS that played a crucial part in all this.
I dont wish to rain on anyones parade w/ my boohoo's by going in detail nor do I wish to rain on my own parade either , yes I said it right ,parade , for right now I am actually filled with joy , with the assurance that God does love me after all !! whatever doubt I had in the past , just simply vanished . I mean Who else can create this kind of comfort , peace, and actual tranquility amid all this devastation ? That my friends , spells nothing but "Blessed Assurance" to me.
If that's what's going to take for me to get this close to God , I'd do it again !!
trying to close on a possitive note , in case a newbie happens browsing by , listen , NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER OK?
If you happened to pray before getting here , give your God your first thanks and make sure you follow through w/ OASIS .
If you had any doubt about miracles, doubt no more , you're reading one.
