In the last few days I have watched God protect His own children. I have watched as my heart breaks, a dear family watch their husband, their Dad, their grandfather, slowly fade away to be promoted to Heaven. The memories of my own Dad leaving and going through the agony for such a long time. Then on Sunday, his oldest child, walked up to me and gave me some of this dying man's books. This man was a preacher and he too started seminary late in life; 40, and God gave him 40 years to preach. I was awe struck.

Yesterday, I opened one of the books, and the first thing I saw was his hand written note about the funeral. I hurried and emailed the information to his son. What a comfort was the passage in John 15. They are going to use it in the funeral soon. God taking care of His own when they cannot.

Recently, I watched as God protected me from certain people. I watched as He shut doors, and pulled me in another direction here, and there, and I watched as each person was definitely dangerous in my walk. He even helped me to make wise decisions to prevent trouble.

Then my eyes were opened and I saw the gift of Love that He was offering me. He was giving me the desires of my heart. As I sang, "In the Garden", and heard, "How Great Thou Art", ... I realized that my God has so richly blessed me. Tears of joy burned down my cheeks and still are!!! I am so happy...so very happy. I am so happy these tears just keep streaming down my cheeks as I am laughing!

I am free from the pains of yester years. I am free from the enslavement of the lies of Satan. God has deemed me good.....and I must deserve this happiness because He deemed and gave it to me. And God knows best!!! I breathed..... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now I can walk down the path that I was on so many years ago when I was but a child. Now I am finally free! My God is Great and my soul will sing to Him praises! I am free....Free....FREE!!! I am redeemed, made new, and regenerated......and today my mind is awakened to His hand cleaning the slate of all the lies and damage done by those who said they "loved" me. I am FREE!!!

How Great Thou Art!

To God be ALL the glory! .......I am FREE, Free at last!!!

Peter-John .... the son of God....loved of God....made free by God! In the palm of God's hand!
