God says, "NO"...sometimes a lot!

     We "must" and I do say, "must" remember that for there to be a harvest in the fields of which many benefit with food and other products, the seed "must" first die (John 12:24).  If this doesn't happen, there is no abundance, there is no continuing of true life.

"Those who love their life in this world will lose it.  Those who care nothing for their life  in this world will keep it for eternity" (John 12:25).

     This is about surrender in this life here and not living a negligent life but a purposeful one that begins with dying to self so when God does say "No" to something you want, your mind and heart are yielded in trusting God knows best and He has a plan.  Yes, God always has a plan (Jeremiah 29:11).

     Dear Ones, we can trust God in the "No's" of this life when we accept...

     "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord.
          And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
     For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
          so My ways are higher than your ways
               and My thoughts higher than your thoughts." 
                       Isaiah 55:8-9

Yielding to this TRUTH is often hard, I know, but it is better!!!
