My prayer for you for today is that glow in the generous
grace of our Lord knowing that you are rich, in Jesus Name.

Corinthians 7:10
For
the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and
results in salvation. There's no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly
sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
2
Corinthians 8:9
You know
the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was rich, yet for your
sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty He could make you rich.
Treasure! I found these two awesome scriptures this
morning and just had to share both. God allows sorrow in our lives to lead us
away from sin and into salvation. This is quite a mind blower. We have gone
through a number of sorrows in our lives and I know out of my life, every time
things go wrong we end up questioning it and almost always ask this question “Why
me?” But what do we gain from sorrow? Paul says that worldly sorrow that lacks
repentance results in spiritual death. I think that even in questioning our
sorrow we are drawn closer to God. I find myself spending more time with Him
asking about the things that go wrong and eventually letting God take control
of my doubts and my sorrow and finally seeing the result for what it is supposed
to be – drawing me closer to Him.
Combining sorrow this morning with grace I think might
just be the right medicine. You see the Lord’s grace is so much more than we
can possibly think. He became poor so that we can be rich, rich in the
salvation that follows His grace. The Lord Jesus gave up His life so that we can
have eternal freedom. I feel that I must just remind you again today that He
died so set the captives free. The enemy wants to control you with pain and
sorrow, where God wants it to lead you to Him, to freedom. I guess it is where
we place our trust and where we end up asking for help and whether we accept
that help. Asking God for help but still complaining about it is not going to
change you, asking God for help and trusting Him will.
I don’t know what it is that you are facing at this
moment nor do I know where you stand with God, but what I do know is that He
send His son to give up His life to save yours. If He loves you that much, He
will not let the enemy defeat you, He
will not allow more problems in your day than what you can handle, and
sometimes the pain we feel is there to open our eyes to something greater.
I told a friend that life is in the sunrise, in the way
the sun clears away the darkness, it is in the dewdrops on tiny leaves, it is
in the song of a bird, it is in time, it is in moments, it is joy, it is
sorrow, it is in the sunset and it is in the moon rising and in the stars magnifying
it – it is all in and for God…
God is waiting, wanting to hear all about you, your life,
your troubles and your sorrow. He is ready to listen, but already busy changing
it. Take a moment today and just talk to Him…
Have a great and awesome and amazing day. It is still
dark outside but I can feel the sun is on his way.
You remain in my prayers dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
