"God Said..."
by Helen Dowd

Although this was originally "Author Unknown", I have taken it and added scripture verses to it, to strengthen the emphasis on what "God Said."
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

"God Said"...

* If you never felt pain:then how would you know that I am a HEALER? - Psalm 103:3b: "Bless the Lord, Who healeth all thy diseases:

* If you never went through difficulties how would you know that I'm a DELIVERER? - Psalm 18:2:"The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer:"

* If you never had a trial:how could you call yourself an OVERCOMER? - I John 5:4: "For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."

* If you never felt sadness:how would you know that I am a COMFORTER? - John 14:18: "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

* If you never made a mistake:how would you know that I'm FORGIVING? - I John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

* If you knew all: how would you know that I will answer your questions? - Psalm 139:23-24:"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

* If you were never in trouble: how would you know that I can make you whole? - John 5:8-9: "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole."

* If you never had a problem:how would you know that I can solve them? - Matthew 11:28:"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

* If you never had any suffering: then how would you know what Jesus went through? - I Peter 2:21:"...because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"

* If you never went through the fire: then how would you become pure? - I Peter 4:12:"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:" Job23:10 "When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."

* If I gave you all things:how would you appreciate them? - Psalm 103:2:"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."

* If I never corrected you: how would you know that I love you? - Hebrews 11:13:"Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."

* If you had all power: then how would you learn to depend on ME? - John 15:4-5:"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me - for without me ye can do nothing."

* If your life was prefect: then what would you need ME for? - Romans 3:23:"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:10:"There is none righteous." Psalm 14:3:"They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, no one."
