God is beyond great, and his never ending, unmeasurable love, that I will never understand, I am so thankful for. And when I recognize his plan fall into place like a beautiful composition made of gold, there is no denial of his mercy and power. There is NO denying his love.
Sunday, I had the worst conversations I have ever had in my life. I have been cussed at in my life, I have been told and accused of horrible things, I have been verbally abused, but it was nothing like this.
But first, let me go back a few more days. Wednesday night, October 1, 2025 was the best night of my life. I was granted the Gift from God, to be part of someone’s testimony of salvation. Let me tell you, there is NOTHING that can compare to that. When we get saved, that is the greatest day of our life, but a lot of times, and for me, when I was saved, I didn’t 100% understand the powerful nature of what had just happened. My soul was saved from eternal hell, and I would forever be by the Lord’s side in Heaven. But as we grow and we come to better understanding and how powerful the meaning of being saved in our heart, when we see someone else get saved, the Joy is overwhelming.
In all honesty there are no words to truly express what happened that night, every synonym to great, awesome, wonderful, joy, all of those barely scratch the surface to what I felt. And continue to feel. So for the next four days, I was on Cloud Nine with the Holy Spirit. God had given me a Gift that satan had no power over. But I knew he was coming. No matter how you try to prepare for anything in your life, we will fail at it. But Thanks be to God, HIS plan never fails. HIS preparation NEVER, FAILS. So God knew I would need this gift even when I didn’t know it.
Sunday came, it was a great service at church, and I was still so joyful in my heart. But later that day, satan came at me with the hardest punch he could think possible to throw at me. And ONLY with God’s gift, ONLY with God’s help, did I stand like a solid rock.
Satan’s words tried to cut down my very salvation. Not in a way of just doubt, not in a way of just shrugging feelings off, but something so awful, so crazy, so, absurd way to try to break my Joy and Love that God has gifted me. I was being protected by God’s Holy Spirit. It was like a shield that would not break. I listened to satan’s words extremely carefully, to every word as God’s Spirit Took the unsuccessful hits. I remained calm, as how I did that, I can’t even understand. And that’s a fact, if I did not have God’s gift to me, ‘old self’ would have handled this extremely different. Honestly, I can’t even begin to think of how I would have handled this conversation had it not be by the Grace of God being in me.
Despite these awful things that were said, and me having to defend my own salvation, that I AM saved, and I AM going to Heaven, that NOTHING can change that or it be taken away, I told them that I loved them. I appreciated them being honest with me and talking to me, and that I loved them.
Shock was first, then a little hurt later, but in reality, God’s praise came over all. I look back on that conversation not as a hinderance, but it opened my eyes to how much God really loves me. The worst thing imaginable is dying and God turning his face from you, not knowing you. I would rather be beat, I would rather any physical or mental abuse happen, cussed out, anything than to lose my salvation (which can’t happen, but just saying). So with satan thinking, this was the absolute best punch he could throw at me, God’s punch was greater, and ALWAYS is greater than satan’s. I do not want to come across as bragging, or taunting satan, or boasting, but I want to PRAISE GOD, because that is where all the credit is due to. And I am beyond thankful for that.
Satan will come again, after each one of us when we are basking in the presence of God’s victory, but satan won’t win. And see what I said there, ‘Satan will come again, … we are basking in the presence of God’ We are in the PRESENCE OF GOD. As we stand by God, satan will never win. We might get a little bruised because we are human, we make mistakes, but God will give satan an even bigger bruise to keep him off our backs.
God’s love is so great, and I am so thankful for that.
Psalm 31:3
‘For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for they name’s sake lead me, and guide me.’
