Understanding

Daniel chapter 11 verse 35.
"And some who are most gifted in the things of God will stumble in those days and fall, but this will only refine and cleanse them and make them pure until the final end of all their trials, at God's appointed time."

From our earliest memories we can remember being taught and how somethings we learned quickly while others took much longer to understand, maybe never getting exactly what was expected of us.
    Our parents were to teach us proper manners and listening skills, so that we could pay attention in school. School meant that we had to learn from other people while in a room full of new people, who could be potential friends.
   Some of us did ok by actually listening and applying what was being taught. All of us, whether graduating or not, had to leave school and find a way to make a living so that we could provide for ourselves. That meant learning all over again by being taught the skills required to succeed in the jobs we seek.
   There are so many stumbling blocks. Using our manners we have learned to listen and we learned in school that what we are being taught applies to making us successful. Being praised encourages us, making us proud of what we have accomplished. This in turn helps us move forward with a sense of curiosity as to how successful we can be at other challenges. It is the assurance we gain that builds our confidence letting us know that we are on the right paths.
   So the outcome of feeling good about ourselves and being confident of our direction can lead to family and the love for others. A life with God is trusting that He is the one who has been helping us all along. Patience and understanding, knowledge and wisdom and common sense all put together with thankfulness and love for God and Jesus make for a content life.
   Coming to God is not an easy task. The more time you spend with Him the more you gain from Him. Like all the other challenges you have taken on---now you are seeking after Jesus and the promises of God. Nothing you have ever done before will give you as much joy and happiness as following after Jesus. In God's time, you will receive His Holy Spirit, whom will never leave you and will provide for you the joy of serving and knowing Your heavenly Father.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and helping us to bring all of life together, by knowing it is all from You. 😊

John chapter 14 verse 26.
Jesus told them, "When the Father sends the Comforter instead of Me---and by the Comforter I mean the Holy Spirit---He will teach you much, as well as remind you of everything I myself have told you."

2 Peter chapter 1 verses 5-7.
"To obtain these gifts, you need more than faith; you must also work hard to be good, and even that is not enough. For then you must learn to know God better and discover what He wants you to do. Next learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become patient and godly, gladly letting God have His way with you. This will make possible the next step, which is for you to enjoy other people and to like them, and finally you will grow to love them deeply."
