When you go back and read what you wrote later ... His mercy, goodness and grace will be so clear to you! You will see how He loved you, walked with you, protected you. You will be amazed at what the Lord has done!
Taking the time to journal is time spent in God's company. Expect Him to meet you there, while you journal, to speak to your spirit, to teach you, to give you courage and hope, to build your faith. He longs to fellowship with us, to love us and we learn to love and trust Him during these times.

God as Judge

10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
The Devil
Luke 10:17-20 (NKJV)
17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
Be blessed,
