Paul says that all things work for the best of those who love the Lord. The Lord was just impressing this on me tonight.
That is why we rejoice in all things! All things that come our way are but a test of the Lord, and he is looking to see if we have his character. The Lord will give us of his spirit, and we then will have the fruit of the spirit. By this, we know the Lord's character. He is love, always giving, long-suffering, and patient... Now our job is to fit ourselves to him. We must build our character to be like this, so that even when we do not feel the Spirit, we act as he does, and thus his spirit is there and strengthening us.
It's just something the Lord was telling me. I fell out of this the last few days, and I was battling with the Lord, because I knew I wasn't where I should be, but I wanted to be with him and like him. And he has shone his light!
I see now; by faith we enter in. We must walk in love, even when he is not filling us, out of faith to show that we know he is there. And then, all things really do work for our best!
The Lord is near brothers, he is right at the door!
