I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

God's will and My will

What was God's will in Joseph life? What was God's will for Corrie ten Boom? What was God's will for Joni? What was God's will for Billy Graham? I am 47 years old now and I am beginning to understand what is God's will in my life. God has a mission called the great commission. God used people according to HIS will. In other words, my destiny is God's will, not mine. Learning from great faiths in the Bible and Christian history (Corrie ten Boom), I can see that circumstances did not control them; it is their reaction to circumstances that determined what kind of people they were and most importantly, how faithful they were. How their lives have impacted other lives around the world is the Will of God. His Word is being spread throughout the world through His people. Many have accepted Christ by learning Christians' faith during their circumstnances which means a Christian should demonstrate godly love and have real credibility that others can have the SAME faith. A person's testimony and credibility is evangelism. The Best Evangelist is the Holy Spirit. We are to spread the Gospel and the Holy Spirit will do the rest.
