We read in the
Message 1 Peter 4 verses 12 to 13 "Glory Just Around the Corner. Friends, when life gets really difficult,
don't jump to the conclusion that God isn't on the job. Instead, be glad that
you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual
refining process, with glory just around the corner."
Honestly, it has
been a tough week for me, my emotions have been up and down, and I was going
through stuff. I wonder how you cope when life puts the squeeze on you? We know
that there are testing times, and it is a regular thing. We need testing and
trials in our lives to keep us real, to help us grow, and our spiritual lives
need to build. The apostle Paul said "Every detail works to your advantage
and God's glory: more and more grace, more and more people, more and more
praise! So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it
often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is
making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace." 2
Corinthians 4: 15 - 17 MSG.
I never truly
understand how people go through life, looking magnificent, and it seems they
don't have a care in the world. Then I realized they are hiding their feelings,
and you cannot see their pain, they wear masks and are protecting the hurt and
pain within. None of us can see inside each other, and it looks perfect on the
outside. If we knew what blessings God has stored for each of us, we would
press on, look up and stay focused. Let us not give up and sit in our pity party
and start turning our attention to the one who can change our destiny. God the
Father, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
Prayer
Heavenly Father
thank You, for giving us the strength to hold on, the courage to face new
challenges and hope for tomorrow. We love and adore You, Lord, with all of
our hearts, soul and mind. in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
