"God Alone Knows"
-- 1 Corinthians 8:3
But the person who loves God is the one God knows and cares for.
-- Romans 8:28
28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
-- Proverbs 3:5-8
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

"Stepping Stones To Greener Pastures"
Who knows the way I take but God alone!
Fifty people can look at your life, or my life,
and in their mind believe
they know all the answers,
and each will have a different answer,
but God says,
He alone knows the way that I take,
or that you take.
There will always be judges
sitting in the grandstands,
but as a child of God
we only have one Judge.
And He is able to judge according
to righteousness and mercy.
He sees all our yesterdays,
He sees the moment,
and He sees all our tomorrows.
Our Father looks at the intent of our heart.
So, if and when, you find yourself
in the hands of many judges, take heart,
don't let their opinion break your spirit,
for you have the Holy One
who searches depths no finite mind
can comprehend.
Your God, my God, will always and forever
bring good out of the bad events
or circumstances of our lives.
This is when we must trust God and
not lean on our own understanding.
God is God! He will never allow
His children to suffer without
a higher purpose to accomplish.
We must never forget this.
Our Heavenly Father hears our silent cry!
He will never ignore you or pass you by.
His timing is always perfect,
He will not fail you!!
Forever in His Divine Love and Mercy,

-- Romans 8:26-39
26 In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit Himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express.
27 And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of His people and in accordance with His will.
28 We know that in all things God works for good with those who love Him, those whom He has called according to His purpose.
29 Those whom God had already chosen He also set apart to become like His Son, so that the Son would be the first among many believers.
30 And so those whom God set apart, He called; and those He called, He put right with Himself, and He shared His glory with them.
31 In view of all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 Certainly not God, who did not even keep back His own Son, but offered Him for us all! He gave us His Son — will He not also freely give us all things?
33 Who will accuse God's chosen people? God Himself declares them not guilty!
34 Who, then, will condemn them? Not Christ Jesus, who died, or rather, who was raised to life and is at the right side of God, pleading with Him for us!
35 Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble do it, or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death?
36 As the scripture says, "For your sake we are in danger of death at all times; we are treated like sheep that are going to be slaughtered."
37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through Him who loved us!
38 For I am certain that nothing can separate us from His love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future,
39 neither the world above nor the world below — there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.
