Last night in a meeting someone was talking about a God Box, which reminded me...
I used to use what I referred to as a God Can (I can't, but God CAN). I figured I still had it kicking around somewhere, and sure enough, on a shelf in my closet was my God Can. So I opened it up and looked inside...
I was amazed at how many slips of paper were inside. I didn't remember writing so many. Then I started to read them, and discovered that, without exception, what was written on every single one of these slips had been taken care of.
I realized driving to work this morning that the reason I didn't remember that there were so many was because I had truly used the God Can as it was meant to be used with these issues: I gave them to God and he took care of them. What a blessing.
I am going to start using my God Can again, and start giving my worries to Him.
HI Tara, Good for you...I too use my God box..but there are times i forget to do that...thanks for the reminder. Hope you have a good day today. You sound like you are feeling better.
I can't tell you how much of a blessing this post has been to me. To be able to physically write your problem/issue/worry on a piece of paper, and put it in a GOD CAN box...WOW...what an awesome thing...you put it there, BELIEVE, and HE takes care of it for you.
I am going to make my box this weekend. Thank you so much for posting this as I know this will help me out tremendously in my recovery! I'm so excited now, to make my GOD CAN box!
what a good idea, I do something similar to that when I can't sleep at night. I visualize stuffing the problem into a hot air balloon and releasing it into the wind. Sometimes I have to do it more than once, but it works! Jamie
