What I have learned he last few Days
Posted: Sat May 29, 2010 8:04 amDearest Friends
I did my first visitation yesterday and it was a blessing to me and to them.
But Satan twice now, before I even had gone on visitation tried to stop me from going.
The first thing was when I put flowers on my husband, Mom & Dad's graves.
The next morning I cried my eyes out and couldn't stop. Depression hit and then all I could think of was getting it to end. I didn't listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to my heart. I looked at my circumstances. I went on a singles website. In a few seconds a man contacted me. Said he was a Christian, retired but had a 12 year old son. He has been a widow for four years.
We talked via yahoo and in a matter of two days he progressed into stating he loved me and wanted me as his wife. He hadn't even met me yet.
I prayed, and prayed. Wrote back to him that this wasn't what I was looking for. But he convinced me that it was right. In my heart I knew the Holy Spirit was telling me it wasn't. Finally this morning I prayed God would get me out of this. It was so simple, God told me just to close the yahoo account and get out of the singles site. I did. Now this morning I feel so good inside. I thanked my Heavenly Father, over and over again.
Satan does not want me to go and do this visitation. He is putting things in my path to try and stop me. Trying to put my priorities on other things and not what the Lord would have me do.
We need to keep looking at the face of Jesus and not let anything get in the way. This demands constant prayer. Not just our set time of having devotions. But praying without ceasing.
I have learned a few things through this. First of all, in my heart my first priority is to serve my Living Savior. This is true happiness. When my hubby first died I was scared about being alone so much. I couldn't remember ever being alone. Now I am beginning to cherish these times alone. Just Jesus and me. Talking together throughout the day About everything. Thank God that I turned to Him during this time of temptation and not to my "feelings of loneliness"
Jesus will take away the loneliness and fill it's space with Him.
