Hi..
Good Morning from India..
This is the day that the Lord has made..
Let us rejoice and be glad in it!!
Are you in pain?
Is the suffering too much to bear?
Is the walk lonely??
Are you hated, misunderstood??
Have people you trusted let you down??
Well I just want to tell you that these tough situations can draw us away from God or bend us closer to our Savior.
Let's choose to lean on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
He will in due season lift us up.
JOB 36:15
But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.
We need these sufferings in life to strengthen our spiritual muscles.
1 Peter 4:12
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.
ROMANS 5:3
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Sufferings and persecutions are essential for our Spiritual growth.
It's like Oxygen & Water for a believer.
Someone once said,
" Satan aims his darts more at a believer who is spiritually minded than at the one who is carnally minded."
Suffering is for a moment sometimes and sometimes it may last last longer... but through all this when we hold on to our Lord, He will give us peace and strength to face this trial come out victorious.
1 PETER 2:19
For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God.
These trials are a test before a promotion..(Spiritual, material, professional etc)
so take heart.....don't give up......your not alone through this.
JESUS CHRIST YOUR LORD IS WITH YOU.
ISAIAH 43: 2
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
YSIC,
Julia
1 Thessalonians 1:6
You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
