I began sit sit and examine my life and where it's headed in God. There are without a lot of things that I feel were unfulfilled; which gave me the unction to talk to God about almost everyday. It wasn't until the other day when I was talking to a friend of mine about the how God is and how I relate to Him. God was letting me know through the conversation that whereever I am right now, is where I am supposed to be. I know that God has given me glimpses of my future; where the are of ministry that He placed me in and so on, so I aksed Him Lord, why am I where I am supposed to be?

It wasn't until I began to get into the Word of God that I got an understanding of this concept. God was willing to sacrifice His life so that I might be saved with the thoughts that I was going to have failures and shortcomings, and mishaps and mistakes and pain and hurt and tears and shame and disappointments on my behalf as well as others, but it still didn't cause Him to change His mind for giving His life for me. But the very fact that He knew where I was going to be, even now shows me that I am where He is supposed to be. I had a friend that I briefly spoke to on the other day, and she said something to me about this place of transition that I am facing... it wasn't deep or long-winded. But all she told me was that God was stretching my faith. I began to think about the things that I am confronted by and I no longer looked at it as opposition, but position. God is positioning me in Him so my faith can be increased. I always sing the song, "without faith, it's impossible to please the Lord, and it's impossible to stand on His Word..." and here I found that my fatih was being tested. I thought of it as a problem, but it ended up being my solution for my problems. Even now while typing this, God is yet revealing to me more things about this "position", and even as the words go across the screen and my mind is stimulated by the Spirit of God, it is showing me more and more as I look back on the things that I had been going through for the last few years. God desires the best for us...better yet, God desires the best for ME...(had to make it personal). He desires so much for us to prosper that He allows tests to come, and even in our mess, He allows it to work together for the good. Even in our goodness, it still works for our good. WHAT KIND OF GOD IS THIS? One who can see the diamond before it is transformed and knows every detail. One who can see the catipillar before it transforms and before it even reaches its peak, knows every color and every design that's going to be on it before eyes ger to see it. He knows about you and me... look at the book of Jeremiah in the first chapter. Before we were formed He called us. He called us while we were in our mothers womb. God is so good. So with this said... I am persuaded in my mind. I may have wavered or doubted before, but I am persuaded; fully persuaded that God knows about me... and that God knows about YOU TOO.. and the places where He has us right now is a place of positioning. So I encourage you who are facing things and situations right now, to take a look at it for a minute. Look at the glory that God is going to get from it. The greater the battle, the greater the glory. The greater the glory, the greater the reward... Hallelujah... This is simply saying that no matter where you are right now, God desires to get the glory out it. You may be in a hard place or a blessed place, a sad place or a glad place, but wherever you are, God is getting the glory... **somebody clap their hands and praise God**...

Take a moment and examine your place.... and then utter these words of comfort. I am determined, I am persuaded, that nothing can seperate me from the love of God... WOW.... Not height, not depth, not tribulation or distress...NOTHING..... can seperate YOU from His purpose... if God said it! Then it's going to happen; as a matter of fact, it's already in process... Hallelujah!! I feel God in here.... glory to God.....

and Lord in declaration of this Word... I am fully persuaded that I love you... with all my heart, mind and soul.... I love you.... with everything in me... I love you..... thank you for loving me.... thank you for keeping me... thank you for eyes that are reading this word... thank you....

I AM PERSUADED.... God knows...
