(Heb 13:16) "We will show mercy to the poor and not miss an opportunity to do acts of kindness for others, for these are the true sacrifices that delight God’s heart."
Part 3: WE MAY LET GO... BUT GOD NEVER WILL — 10. Pride (insecurity, success/achievement that becomes idolised, or habitually avoiding vulnerability)
We moved 225 miles south to fulfil what we believed was a command from God. We knew no one here and had very little to live on. NB - 30 years ago, a lovely home in the North was worth about the 10% deposit of a home in the South!
We arrived in leafy West Sussex with no job, very little money and three children all under 8 years of age. Even though we believed God had told us to come, there was no Angelic presence guiding us into the promised land; instead, all five of us shared one small room in a decrepit B&B that was more of a 1970s theme park!
As bills and discouragements mounted, the faith-filled adventure began to look more like a nightmare. Just when we thought we couldn’t take any more, help arrived through people at church, and God soon turned everything around. Homes were offered. Bags of food arrived on the doorstep, even envelopes of money were posted through our letterbox - and jobs were offered.
Looking back, I can see now that God had to deal with my prideful arrogance before He could begin using me for His Glory.
Hand on heart, I can truthfully proclaim that "GOD IS FAITHFUL!" Hallelujah!

Let's pray. "Heavenly Father, how easily I forget ... and how easily You remind me of Your Awesome Faithfulness. Thank You." Amen!
