When God is all you have...you realize that He is all you need
posted July 2, 2008 - 12:08amAs a Born Again Christian I know that I have a personal relationship with God. I know that He is with me always and I should depend on Him to help me through situations.
I have only been a Christian for 8 years and they say old habits are hard to break. All of my life I was independent and could always find ways to fix problems or situations in my life. I am head strong and very driven when it comes to facing problems head on and coming up with a solution.
All of that changed when I got custody of my handicapped grandson. He came to live with me when he was 8 weeks old. He has a rare disorder called "Hyperekplexia" and together we have had a rough journey over the past 2 years.
I wanted to fix his problems but couldn't. I wanted him to be healed but I couldn't do that either. I took him to 13 specialists at 4 hospitals in 3 different states to get him help but because his condition is so rare many of the doctors had never heard of it.
They told me not to get my hopes up that he would ever sit up or walk. They put him on medication to keep him comfortable but could not heal him.
By the time he was 10 months old I was exhausted from running and trying to fix the situation. That is when I finally gave it to God. I had run out of options and was worn out. I began to pray over my grandson a few times a day.
When he was 11 months old he sat up by himself, began to crawl at 13 months and by 14 months he was cruising around the house holding on to furniture. He cannot walk independently yet but that don't mean that he won't one day.
Miracles do happen! They happen when you finally stop trying to fix things on your own and surrender it up to God.
When God was all that I had to lean on for help... I realized that He was all that I needed for healing.
Be encouraged no matter what you are going through because God is waiting for you to stop trying to fix it so He can help.
Call on Him, surrender it and wait!

@MrsTjScott Where Does God's Lineage STOP?
I know and you know that God's children don't stop being God-people just like Jesus doesn't stop being Christ.
But 'God's "reason" is not our "reason".' That's fine ... unless you disagree with ministry leaders, who firmly claim that their service of God is "to 'be reasonable.'"

God...Or Not...
It seems to me that somewhere in your mind, you do believe in God or else you wouldn't be expressing Him as Her.
Personally, I don't know what else people need to know to believe that God is God and that's all to it. People believe in the story of Christopher Columbus. Where you/they there? People believe in a lot of things that there is no proof for, but for God, there always has to be a question of Is He real? How did He get here?...
I just believe that God is God. He cannot be explained. He just is God. Look up into the sky. How is it that the sky is there? How is it that the sun rises and shines when it does? How is it that the moon knows when to be full, half full, 1/4 full or 3/4? How do the oceans and seas know how to keep their boundaries? How do the stars know that they are to shine at night? Only God can do that!!!
Everybody is entitled to believe whatever they want to believe, but one day, we will all know the answer and we will learn it from God.
God ... Or Not ...
I'm not saying She does- or doesn't exist ... actually, I'm saying She doesn't; but that's not the point.
Whether She exists or not is not contained within reality. What is within reality are Her laws (not the 'Commandments'--which are ALL merely rules to guide us through Her network-of-laws--but Her actual manifestations ... i.e. that we are alive, that we can choose to love whatever is available, that it is not good for the man to be alone, and on and on.
Most of the things contained within reality are reasonable; in fact, 'God' is typically an explanation for the UNreasonable. ...
