I have a BIG GOD

I’ve been down for the past week because of my financial situation. Tried not to think about it, but it keeps circling back to the front of my mind.

My ideal is to be able to have a lump sum in hand to go over to Aussieland, and to be able to clear off all my debts over here, leave some to my friend to regularly help me pay my insurance, and have some in the bank for my mum to use to take care of household matters.

Not to easy. Not when my salary is wiped clean every month.

On top of that, I’ve been really discouraged with the rejections and silences I have from applications online.

Not good. What on earth am I gonna do when I get there? Where do I start to look for a job? What shall I do? My skills are not exactly specialized, nor are they something that I can bank on totally, given that I have a wide range of stuff, but am unable to say that I am an expert in any one. After all, I’ve only been working for 4 years. I shudder when I think too deeply on it.

My teddy bear sent me this. And I think I’ll try this new tactic. Thank you dear. You lift me up like no other and – just when I need it most.

I have a BIG GOD.

Two men went fishing.

One was an experienced fisherman, the other wasn't.

Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh. Whenever the inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back.

The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and finally got tired of seeing the man waste good fish.

"Why do you keep throwing back all the big fish you catch?" he asked.

The inexperienced fisherman replied, "I only have a small frying pan."

Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throwback the big plans, big dreams, big jobs, big opportunities that God gives us.

Our faith is too small.

We laugh at that fisherman who didn't figure out that all he needed was a bigger frying pan, yet how ready are we to increase the size of our faith?

Whether it's a problem or a possibility, God will never give you anything bigger than you can handle.

That means we can confidently walk into anything God brings our way.

You can do all things through God.

Nothing is too big for God.

REMEMBER: Stop telling God you've got big problems. Tell your problems you've got a BIG GOD!
