It's finally a new week!! I thought this weekend will never end. The past weekend was so hectic with the past repeating itself once again in my home. I couldn't cry out to God enough. It felt as if my groaning was in vane.
Friday afternoon I had a feeling that something was about to happen and I started praying but to my dismay(at the time), what I dreaded happened. I thought, even asked the question out loud "Why on earth is this happening again? Why is the past repeating itself?
Then it came to me what Job says, "The very thing I feared has come upon me." Job 3:25 When those words were dropped in my spirit, I decided not to panic. I decided to encourage myself in the Lord. To tell you the truth, I found it so hard to encourage myself even though I knew it would help me rest in God.
With all that was happening I even started to condemn myself and cast the blame all on me. I thought of speaking to someone about the trial I was going, but I did not feel comfortable doing that. So many people knows what I went through a few years back and I knew for a fact they would talk. "Strong Leslene is weak after all." In my mind that would be their words.
I spoke to God and I trusted God to remove this giant exalting itself against the God I serve and it's all because of my weakness. I started praising and worshipping God for breakthrough. I started speaking the word to the problem and most of all, I took every negative thought captive that tried to exalt itself and brought it to the obedience of Jesus Christ.
I realized that there are times God is quiet, and until you be still and know that He is God(Ps 41:10), He will not answer.
Once again I was taught a valuable lesson and when the weekend was over I had my breakthrough. I had to show love and see this problem through the eyes of God.
I am revived. A true revival happened in my soul Sunday morning. God blessed me with an awesomely beautiful scripture and I am more than greatful for what happened.
"Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you." Isaiah 60:1-2
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you." Isaiah 60:1-2
Bless and love you
In His love
Leslene
