I'm Frans, in my work with the Lord sometimes I feel lonely and weak and than suddenly He suprising me by come and bring his wisdom and knowledge to just carry on. He supports me ...all the way.

To those who are fully his he shows him self or reveales himself to them who are fully committed to him .

Pamela's comment on 2015-02-04 09:29:31:

God looks for those who desires to be totally dependent on him instead of being dependant ourselves. God searches our hearts by the Holy Spirit who Jesus left as a teacher to guide us into the understanding and reality of the Kingdom of Heaven that was given to us by Jesus, Luke 22:29.

I believe God is looking for a people who are devoted to HIM so He can show Himself through those who are empty of self. So He can take residence in those who want to be used by Him.so He can bring Glory to Himself and draw the lost back to Him.

I like this verse because it shows how Jehovah is looking for a way to show his strength in behalf of those who strive to serve Him whole-heartedly. Sometimes people think that God only looks for the bad or only notices the bad we do. This verse shows that he is a loving God who strives to look for the good in others and even looks for a way to support such ones.
