We ought to rejoice that in God’s great wisdom and love He does in fact answer all of our requests, though to be sure, He says no to some things because our having them would hurt us in the long run. We also ought to rejoice that in His wisdom He gives us what we ask at the best time, rather than at an earlier time when our very limited judgment thinks it would be best. And finally, we ought to rejoice that God’s love and wisdom gives us what often turns out to be far better than the precise thing for which we had asked (Eph. 3:20).

“I was doing drugs … and I was just sitting there crying”

I never knew the Lord until my sister and brother starting praying for mysalvation. I fought them all I could. I was into drugs, alcohol and I likedmy life just fine so I thought but as time passed I found out differently.I was in the bathroom one night and I was doing drugs well I was out, andI was just sitting there crying because I wanted more when all of a suddenthe room had a very bright glow I didn’t dare look up and I heard a voicesaying “Child what are you doing”? Well I was really scared and I startedthinking could this be God? And then again he said “I gave you that bodyand look what you are doing to it”. And I just started crying and tellingGod I was sorry . I got up off the floor of course I didn’t tell anyone becauseI was afraid of what they would think plus my husband had no idea that Iwas doing drugs.

I went to the phone and called my brother and told him to pick me up in themorning for church. I was going that Sunday! I know he had a smile on hisface. So I went to church that Sunday and gavemy life to the Lord. I knew this is the life I needed to live. As timewent by I kinda stopped going to church. I started hanging around with myold friends and before I knew it I was in to it again. My husband and I werehaving problems in our marriage and I just gave up all hope. I let the devilsteal my joy!!!! I know that now. Thank You Jesus.

Well we started to go back to church and the Lord has healed our marriageand I given up all my old ways such as drinking, smoking and I give the GoodLord all the Glory. My husband has changed too. We love our new church homeand we are active members there We are Greeters and Ushers and Also I helpin Gods Garden (childrens church) .

We have five wonderful children and everyone of them knows the Lord and haveexcepted him as Lord and Saviour. God has blessed us and we don’t even deserveit . I feel like my heart it going to burst with all the JOY the Lord hasbrought into my life I have never felt this way before. I wake up with Jesuson my mind I think about him during the day and then at night time I go tobed just thinking how wonderful it is to know Jesus as you Lord and Savior..What a Friend indeed he has been for me. I have a big family and we haveall been saved except one brother. God has been good to us.I’m now goingto pray my hasbands family into the kingdom!! I know the Lord hears our prayersand I am thankful. But all I can say is that God is so Good and I will neverlet anything come between me and my Lord and Saviour again. I Love The LordOur God with All My Heart, Soul , and Mind.

God Bless All ,
In Jesus Love,

Jane Craven
