Sometimes you are beaten down and struggling, and you begin to question "Why, Lord, Why?" Does it make one a "bad" Christian? Probably. I'm not the one to judge. But in my own experience, during a dark midnight of the soul, when I could not fathom the horror of living even one more minute, and begged my Savior for grace, the room was suddenly filled with the sweet and unmistakable fragrance of roses, occasioned by a palpable comforting of the soul and a lifting of the oppression - it was a sign, a miracle. And it made all the difference.
I am a crappy human being, and a poor excuse for one of God's children. But I believe I was blessed to be in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
It has never been easy to walk the straight and narrow. For me it is a daily struggle against my natural inclination to sin.
Sometimes I think God sees this, recognizes it, and throws us a crutch.
Don’t confuse Grace, and comfort with a miracle.
God does Comfort us. There is such a thing as spiritual warfare.
When we get caught in it, rely on God’s promises. There are PLENTY of them. Meditate over them. Remind you (by mentioning them to God), of his promises. God is good. We can’t understand the beginning from the end, but God know it. He knows what’s best for us.
