God spoke to me, he said a couple of things to me. The first thing he said is that I shouldn’t think He doesn’t love me. I love you, and I have always loved you and I will always love you, but I have my reasons for letting this happen.
He said I wouldn’t understand why this is happening now, at this point in your life, but in time to come, you will understand.
Then He said again that I need the pain and he is taking me somewhere, on a journey and because of that journey I need the pain and the pain I was passing through is part of the process.
He told me to give him praise, at all times and in all situations. You don’t know why I let it happen, but trust him and give him praise.
God also said to me that it is okay to cry, but when I am done, I should get up, wipe my tears, and keep moving because I am a soldier”.
