What attribute of God has meant the most to you recently?

The attribute of God that is really prevalent in my life most recently is blessings. The past few years of my life have been a real struggle. My life was fraught with health and financial woes. I tried my best to keep faith that God was watching over me the whole time, and one day he would give me comfort and relief from my situation. I must say my faith was really put to the test, but I was taught by my Grandmother (Jessie) and my mother that God never gives you more than you can handle. The turnaround in my life is proof that what they said was true. While I am by no means a wealthy man now, I have wealth in the fact that God loves me and helps me through my darkest hours. When I was at my worst in the hospital, he created a situation that gave me comfort when I thought I was all alone. I cannot speak of the particular situation that I am referring to in any detail. It is too personal an experience to share. Suffice to say it was amazing and proved to me that God and his son Jesus are very real indeed. It made me happier than I’ve ever been in my life. God truly overflows with blessings, but I learned these blessings are on His terms, not ours.
God Bless, Jessie

Jessie, thanks so much for sharing your story with us. It so resonates with me as I think about the times where God has met me in profound ways—whether on a hospital bed or in other desperate times. May He continue to meet your every need! (Philippians 1:19).

Thank you for the supportive words Tom. I wanted to state additionally that the reason I cannot share the specifics of my experience in my hospital bed is due to the fact that it was a very life changing and moving experience for me. I find it almost impossible to say out loud what happened to me. Emotion overwhelms me and I find I cannot continue a conversation if I try to talk about it. I have told a few family members and friends, but that’s about it. Some day I hope to be able to tell many people about it. I am considering some day in the future to share this as a testimonial for the congregation of my church. I certainly do not ” hide it under a bushel” out of any fear of ridicule or shame. I am a very private person, and this forum gives me the anonymity that allows me to share the things I do. ODJ has been a godsend to me.
God Bless, Jessie

Jessie, it’s so good to have you in the ODJ community. Yes, I completely understand your desire to keep your very special experience with God to an intimate audience at this time. Praise God for the way He met you in a powerful way at that time. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us!
