Dig Deep In The Spirit Of Christ
Share
When you are in Christ and experience difficult times and unbelievable pain it is not because God is angry with you. All those in Christ had our lives discussed with Jesus himself before we are born into the world. The hardships are not designed to crush you, but rather for you to endure with Christ so that when you come through the challenge, you can help others with sound and true guidance when they are experiencing similar things. It is to create enduring strength that only perseverance in suffering can produce.
"Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:16
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Often, when we experience unspeakable challenges or have to witness our children or family members or friends go through awful situations, we wonder why. Many get angry with God and some fall away thinking what kind of loving God would allow such a thing.
Our lives and paths are completely individual with God. Nobody enters heaven or a personal relationship with Christ through any other person, whether it be a pastor a parent a pope or anyone. The Holy Spirit of Jesus is the strength that gets you through all things, no matter what it feels like or looks like in any given moment. Dig deep and seek Jesus in each breath, seek him in your spirit and he will give you the strength you need, but you must do your part and stay with him, call to him and trust in his power.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10
