Perceived Losses can be Blessings in Disguise
Sometimes perceived losses can actually be blessings in disguise.
For instance, perhaps you were late for work in frustrating fashion, or something appeared to not be going your way, but that event ended up saving you from a car crash that you will never know you were spared from. Only God can see all ends. As frustrating as one might feel about the pitfalls and setbacks, it is important to remember the truth that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him. Trust is the key to peace when the Goliaths oppose you. No matter what it is that comes up against you, you can harden your resolve and determine yourself to believe that God is with you and nothing can stop you from victory. Perhaps that frustrating situation is exactly the pathway you needed and you could not perceive it. But God knows.
Trust in Him in the and through the pain. He's got a plan for all of us.
As anons, we've seen more frustrating situations emerge in the news than the normal person by far. Seeing through all the BS takes its toll. That's why many despair when they see an obvious criminal like Fani Willis treated with leniency. We want to see them handcuffed and get exactly what they deserve. It's tiring to witness the corruption inherent in our system and many shake their heads in disbelief.
But I will remind them that anons are awake. The normie populace has basically been force-fed a diet of red pills, Trump was right this entire time, and the most obvious shillery ever conceived by mankind.
We should not forget that we're watching a movie designed by God to awaken the sleeping populace.
And it's working.
I truly believe God is setting the stage for something magnificent.
We have to believe.
Consider the disciples of Christ. They saw his crucifixion as a loss of absolutely everything. They did not understand God’s plan, that their perceived loss was the ultimate victory. Meditate on that for a moment. It is a powerful thought that deserves to be dwelled on.
I do not blame anyone for getting tired during a long-distance endurance race. This would be folly. Exhaustion can be part of the experience when you're giving it your absolute all for this long of a journey. What matters is how we respond to that feeling. Do we choose to further our trust in God and push through despite whatever it is that may ail us? Or do we decide to give up? There's nothing wrong with taking breaks, resting, or even expressing our pain and bitterness to God. Surely, He knows exactly how we are feeling and can sympathize with us.
Anons have every right to feel the way they feel about what I refer to as Mystery Babylon and it's decrepit evil. They should have their feelings validated. But I will encourage all who read my writings: Do not stay there in that feeling for too long. Give those emotions over to the one who can truly carry your burden and lift you up out of the mire. To live in that bitterness forever is not your calling. Lift up your eyes to the Lord. The pain is only temporary. Glory is eternal.

I love this article! I once experienced a bankruptcy. When I was in the throes of it, I felt like a complete failure: ashamed, embarrassed, etc. I considered possible solutions (including suicide - though not seriously - as I had a rather large life insurance policy).
I sat reading my Bible late one night, and I came across the passage in Exodus where the Israelites were bitching and moaning that they only had manna to eat. I slapped myself across the face and said, "that's me"! I was quite horrified at my lack of gratitude to the Lord. So, I changed my behavior. I gave it all to God.
And God did a miracle for me and my family by freeing us from the home we were living in (in a deep blue state) and moving to a much safer, more rural home in a beautiful, civilized red state. Our new home is larger, better built, and has a view of a river and the mountains! How amazing is that!!
So, take heart. God has this! Either humanity will turn to the Lord and repent and fall on His mercy, or Christ is coming on the clouds. Either way - GOD WINS!
"A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me. 33"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:32-33
Thank you once again. Very timely and extremely helpful, as usual!! This is one that should be printed and posted on the bathroom mirror, so we can see it early, and carry it with us throughout the day! 🙏🇺🇸🙏
