Amen sister, the Lord is awesome. He saved me, healed me and delivered me. I'm not the same person I was before He came into my life.

It's probably, more what He has in mind for us in the future :)
Ephesians 4:11-16
Spiritual Growth:
Kids love to show off their height. They eagerly anticipate being tall enough to do all the things that their short stature currently prevents. Many parents record and celebrate their children’s growth, following the old tradition of marking heights on a doorframe.
God the Father also measures His children’s growth — He delights in seeing us reach new levels of spiritual maturity so that we can accept greater responsibility.
Because a new believer is like a little child in faith, his or her kingdom tasks are, at first, light. God is beginning the transformation process that will grow a saved human being into the image of Christ. The call to servanthood requires us to do as the Lord Jesus did: act humbly on behalf of our fellow man. When we successfully minister where we are called, new opportunities will open up and offer fresh challenges.
Spiritual growth impacts our fruitfulness; the longer we’ve been believers, the greater our service should be. That does not mean tasks will be highly visible. Satan tries to convince people that some jobs are trivial, but the moment a believer falls for that lie, growth is stunted. God will promote those who put forth the best effort, no matter what the task is.
Every opportunity to bless others honors the Lord and increases a believer’s wisdom and stature before Him. Much of God’s work goes on where only He can see it. But He is always measuring His children for future service, gauging how much closer we are to His goal for us and what new task will draw us closer still.
Good Question

I too have been blessed over and over..A wonderful wife, 2 extraordinary children, a job I love which pays me so well that I can barely spend the money, a loving family, health, plenty of friends, internal peace, harmony, and the feeling that each day is a joy to be experienced.
What makes this PARTICULARLY great is that I have all these things WITHOUT any belief in God whatsoever! In fact, that makes it all even better, because all of this came to me by my own doing and NOT by some intercession from above!

Yes, the Lord is very awesome indeed. I am in very bad situation at home and I had been sharing a bathroom with my Dad's third wife and she really does not regard me as human being. She did not want to see any of my personal things, like shampoos and soaps out in the open. But, all the sudden I am now sharing the same bathroom with my Dad and he is getting the same non-human being treatment from his wife and he and I can feel like human beings sharing the same bathroom together.

how is this for you...my husband just graduated, got a great job and we decided to have a baby. Now I am 8 months pregnant and my husband was just laid off of work. I am not working because his job paid well enough for me to stay home. Now we have no idea what we are going to do because I had to go on medicaid for insurance until the baby is born. So, if thats a blessing from the lord then I dont want any!
***it figures that I would get bad ratings for saying something bad about blessings from the lord in a christian question lol its funny******

I heard a story today about starving and abused children. I guess the Lord didn't have enough blessings to go around
