I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
John 17-14,15,16
The word SEPARATION teaches me many things in my spiritual life. During my first days when I received the salvation God separated me from my family, Relatives, Friends, and their relationships.
I was totally confused because I love them most, I love to spend time with them. During my personal prayer I submit this application about this bitter feeling to God. I was eagerly waiting for a positive answer, but God replied I MYSELF SEPARATED YOU FROM YOUR FAMILY.I was totally upset and thinking about this answer from God. Finally, I got answer when I enter ministry like Troop church. I gained many spiritual friends, Brothers, sisters. We used to discuss more things about God, Testimonies, and many Ministries’. God need my time to spend for his work that’s why he separated me from my family love. I came to know clearly separation is intimate relationship with God where we cannot replace any person in that place.
Separation for God
This word is leading me till now whenever I was getting close to my relatives and friends. How great is god’s love he is so possessive about us.
36.As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”37. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Romans 8:36,37
In my family life God blessed an understanding husband, children but though sometimes when I was sick God closed the door of help from them. During that time, I could not express my tears, but this is also purely by God to depend on him in difficult situation. I strongly understand we will receive love, compassion, affection when God permits them to give otherwise, we will never receive though he/she is so much lovable to us. God wants to trust him alone in all our difficult situation.
I finally close my words through a song. JESUS, you called me, You Kept me, You Blessed me, Filling my heart with singing Your love to me is amazing, My life, in you, I see. Lord, oh, when will you come unto and say. You are My rest Forever. With perfect heart that you favour I’ll wait for you each day. EVERTHING IS GIVEN BY GOD
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8,9
