A reminder for
today
If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me before it
hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you. (John 15:18-19)
The world is one messy place. There is murder and destruction
and hate and anger and decease and war and death everywhere. Despite this we
also have many suicides and overdoses that is so unnecessary and wrong. To wake
up and to look at the world through those kind of eyes is going to corrupt you.
You see, Jesus said that these trials and troubles that we face should not be a
surprise for us. If the world hates us, we have to remember that this world
hated Jesus before us. If you are part of this world, then this world will love
you, but we are not of this world. We do not even resemble what this world
wants. We are different, and we are not misled by the needs and lies of this world.
We know who we are in Jesus Christ and this sets us apart from the rest.
So, do not wake up negative and depressed by what awaits
you. When you wake take a moment and give your day to the Lord and seek Him in
everything. God wants us to seek Him first above all else. He wants us to look
at this world through His eyes and see it the way He sees it. He made it and all
He wants is for all to be saved. That is why He send Jesus to break sin and
lift us out of our pit of despair. Life is not going to be easy, but life is
not forever. Imagine the impact we can make when we unite in our efforts to
help the lost and show them the way to redemption. Imagine what we can do if we
do not see the bad but live to show the good. Imagine what you can do if you
put God first all the time.
This year we will see change and we will see God at His
best. I will rejoice in my trials and tests and I will continue to trust the
Lord all the way. I do not care what the enemy tries, because I have an amazing
and awesome God that walks with me and lives in me. I have unlimited strength
and I am blessed. I am a child of God and a friend of Jesus. I am forgiven, and
I am saved. I will live in the house of my Lord forever and ever, but before
that I will do all I can to take as many as possible with me. Live, love, dance
and rejoice for the Lord our God is a great God.
Lord, how wonderful the mercies of your hands. Lead us
through this day and show us the way and let us touch lives and bring your
gospel to as many as possible. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
