Gods continued goodness to us

I just sit back in amazement at what the Lord does for all his people that truly humble themselves to Him. I have been learning a process of obedience, that has been interesting. The Lord has just been showing me that His way is always the best way, not the easiest way but the best. I am so grateful for a God that is willing to used a messed up kid like me. I sit back in reverence to Him. We just had a kid that was friends with a lot of our youth group commit suicide the other day. The Lord gave me the whole group of his friend including his best friend that has never came to church before, to really be able to reach out and help them. The Holy Spirit showed up and I was able to walk away from the conversation we had and not feel like I didn't say the right thing or do the right thing. The Holy Spirit just flowed through me and did his work. I was just but a vessel to Him. After I got done talking to them I had his best friend come up and give me a huge and thank me for all that I shared. This was the kid that walked in very hardened and anger at life and walked away knowing who the true God was and what Jesus really did for him when he died on the cross. God is really doing something in this church here. The Lord is building up His army for the end of days. He is using young and old. I am quite saddened at the end of October always. Every were you look you see things that celebrate death and Satan. If you go into the stores you have to tell your kids to turn their heads or close there eyes because they don't understand all the evil things that are around them. Yet people celebrate this thing called Halloween. The saddest thing about all this though is that people that call themselves Christians or followers of Christ celebrate it right along with the people that don't know the Lord. They say that it is only fun and candy that it don't really mean anything. Yea right. That is why it is only celebrated as one of the most celebrated days of the year by satanist and witches. I would like to give you a verse that I found in the bible that talks about this very thing. Galatians 4:9-11 Now after you have known God, or rather are known of God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid for you lest I have labored for you in vain. This is one of the many reasons that we don't do Halloween.
