What has God done for you? on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 2

He woke me up this morning in my right mind.

HipKat true that Jesus has been as one. Just like we were taught by our father so was he. He claimed so much that if you had seen him you also seen the father. Jesus came to give us life because we are undeserving. Jesus seen in us what we can be he also is the way to the father. God is pure and he has allways been that way and Jesus gave us away to him. What a wonderful sacrifice that he would give his life for us. People are good by nature and do good things some time with out even thinking. I couldnt even think of what it would be like if we all were good. We could leave our doors unlocked people wouldnt lie we would need money every one is brother and sister no more cheating or desire for another. What a wonderful life we could have.

It's all fairy tales in a black binding.

Since when am I politically correct, I am the exact opposite.

Seal we probably beat the hell out of each other in high school. we where kind of in the same branch of the service. and we met and became friends in our 30's someone had a plan for us you have your beliefs and i have mine thanks to the oath that both of us took we will respect each others beliefs and agree to disagree got nothing but love for you brother.

There is definitely a plan and everything happens for a reason.

If I hadn't met Bridget and went against what I normally would have done by dating her, I never would have had my kids. I never would have come to Peoria to be with my kids. I never would have fallen into the deep depression I was in. I never would have seen the darkest part of the dark side. I never would have met Kevster. I never would have walked into Church. I would not have everything I have now and without each and every one of the things I listed, I would not be anything like I am now.

Each of the events of my life has molded me into the man I am today and I'm still being molded into the man I'll be tomorrow, and the next day, next week, next year....

You can call it coincidence, but looking at it all in the perspective I have now, it all fits a perfectly laid out plan

Its time to have another guys night we need more guys to go on the next one.

I'm in!

It will give me a reason to stop work with the sun still up.

This was one of the big questions I had while on my path back to God. I asked many people and got different answers, all which didn't quite explain things to me...until I asked this one lady. Her answer blew me away. She said to think of it this way:

Think of the Trinity as an apple--God is the core, Jesus is the "meat" and the Holy Ghost is the skin. Together they make an apple. You can separate them all into their individual parts but they are still part of the apple.

Jesus IS the son of God. He DID pray to God--not to Himself and He was filled with the Holy Ghost. The three work together but they are separate entities and can work independently, too.

Truthfully, we may never really understand this fully while we are humans but I just shrug and move on. As long as I know I am living my life with them in my heart, I don't think I need to fully understand this part.

By the way, to answer the OP's question: what hasn't God done in my life!

Let me know when.

Ask, and ye shall receive

and if you don't receive, then you're asking the wrong questions. wonderful the way that works.
