God is faithful.  Even in our darkest times, even when we don't realize it and think all is lost, God is still working, refining, bringing us closer into His presence.  I can attest to this from recent experiences of hard times he has been bringing me through.  He is good, and faithful.  He is a God that is alive, involved, and CAN BE TRUSTED!


"Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will
complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;" Philippians 1:6

"You must toss all your concerns on Him, because He is continually caring about you!"  I Peter 5:7

And finally,

"...looking unto Jesus, the Author [Originator] and Finisher [Completer] of our faith".  Hebrews 12:2

Jesus, Savior of the World. James.

You're very welcome.  I have some idea what it's like to hurt, question, and doubt.  All I can say is that God is faithful.  And good, and up to good, even when we don't get it.

Remember Shadow, LOVE is not self-seeking and does everything for the betterment of others. When you start to fear that God is not working for the betterment of others, such that he may annihilate them or something, realize this: that, whatever it is, it is NOT love and thus, NOT God!

I want to serve and follow love, not some deity that create beings only to permanently annihilate them. God, if he is truly love, doesn't do this. And I will gladly follow love, wherever it goes. When I start to fear, I must realize that I'm not fearing love (remember: love casts out ALL fear); I'm fearing something altogether different.
