Good vs. bad...

My prayer:
Miracle working God. You continue to amaze me every day! Two fantastic healing praise reports today!! Thank you for healing my friend's mom of breast cancer and the good report she got today that she will not need chemotherapy.

Thank you for healing that baby who is still growing in her mother's womb. The doctors confirmed today that "they don't know what happened"...but the baby is completely healthy and won't need the blood transfusions that they thought she would!

God I love your miracle healings!!! There is something so fantastic in seeing you smack down disease, injury or conditions! How many times have we heard the doctors say, "I can't explain it but..."

I am just in the mood to celebrate and praise you tonight God. What an amazing God you are. How did I get so lucky, so blessed to be chosen by you? How did I manage to find you in the midst of this crazy world and all the things that try to take people away from you? There are so many times that had I made a different decision or had you not intervened, I can't imagine where I would be.

Living for you is the most amazing experience. Full of intense joy and full of intense challenges. Thank you God for the joy and the challenges. Thank you for not being satisfied with leaving me like I am. Thank you for trusting me to not quit and to keep on going with you. I love you so much God.


What God said tonight:
What you said tonight is true. Living this life is amazing, both in the joy it brings and the challenges it brings. Thank you for recognizing the value in the challenge.

Some things that people see as "bad" are really the best thing for them. It is time to change perspective. It is time to change how you view "good" and "bad" things. "Good" things should be defined as anything that brings you closer to me. "Bad" things should be anything that takes you further away from me. This is the value system that you need to look at the world and circumstances with.

If you see everything in this light, you can surround yourself with "good" things. You can think on "good" things and your life will be so much better. "Good" does not mean only those things that make you feel good or happy. "Bad" does not always mean the things that make you feel pain or sad. Redefine how you see the circumstance and you can better respond to them.

Life is good because it gives you a chance to get closer to me. A life lived for me is very good because you are drawing closer to me everyday. Death is bad because it separates you from me (if you have not received everlasting life). A life lived without me is bad because it is without me.

Draw close to me, surround yourself with people and things that draw you closer to me. Concentrate on getting closer to me. This relationship we have is precious and grows every day.

I love you and want to be one with you. I want to be so close that people can't tell where you end I begin. I want that which is good for your life. I love you and your life. It is good.
