God never ceases to amaze me... I was out and about the other day and happen to walk in this place of business where this lady behind the counter and I started to chat a little. We started to converse and somehow the Holy Spirit led me to talk to her about my testimony on how God bought me out of an abusive relationship and how He blessed me with my God-loving husband. During that time that I was speaking there was an elderly woman that can from the back and just stopped to hear my testimony. After I finished testifying how good God has been to me she came up to me and handed me this book and turned to this page and said to me, "Sweetheart, read this. This is what was happening to you." When I read it I could not believe it but God started to speak to me. I want to share what she gave me:I AM THERE

(Daily Word)
Do you need Me?
I am there.
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work, though you do not understand my ways.
I am at work, though you do not recognize my works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am here. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need me, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you, and you are in Me.
Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine".
Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.
Empty your heart with empty fears.
When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.
And I am in all.
Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.
I am there because I have to be, because I AM.
Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.
I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.
I am the love that is the law's filling. I am assurance.
I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I AM.
Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.
Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved, I am there.
I wanted to share this with you because this helped me in more ways than one. Not only was this a Word from God from what I have gone through, but He also spoke to me for where I am now. In season and out of season. Praise God for loving me enough to send me to a place where I thought I was going for one thing, but yet He had another purpose! Glory to God!!! I pray that this was a blessing to you as it has been for me, print it out, copy it in your journal etc. Whatever you have to do as a reminder that God is there.
Blessings,
MISTY
