Last time, I hardly post such kinda messages on my timeline on Facebook. I just don't understand myself that why I have changed. It seems like I'm getting emo easily and can't control to keep those feelings like before.
I was so weary and just kept on praying to God. And complained about why He let me face with that calamity. After a while, I flipped my ODB (Our Daily Bread) and read the article for August 31. Before I grasped the Bible, I turned to the last page reluctantly because I just wanna finish the whole content by then. But, by the time I went through every single words of that special article called "The Trust That Overcomes", I cr ied and confessed to God as He is the One who never let his child be far away from Him. He always draws me near back to Him whenever I was downhearted. I just would like to share it as it did touch and mean to me and ... I hope to you all as well!
On the old Happy Days television show, Richie Cunningham had just been "grounded for life" by his father, Howard, for misbehavior. As they talke d about it, Howard asked his son, "Did you know that there is a lesson in this for you?" Richie's response was priceless: "I figured anything with this much pain had to have a lesson in it somewhere."
In one of the most practical books in the New Testament, James wrote these words: "My brethren, could it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (1:2-4).
James' point is simple - God doesn't waste anything! Everything happens in our lives for a reason, and a great part of that reason is to help us grow in our faith.
It has been said that life has to be lived in a forward motion but can only be understood by looking back. This demands that we trust in the loving pruposes of a sovereign God. We must trust that He is in control - especially when life seems to be out of control.
The Old Testament character Joseph had a life filled with dark, difficult experiences - yet the final outcome was amazing. He learned through extremely difficult circumstances how to trust God and to overcome. His example can help us as we face the issue of life.
In Genesis 50:20, we read his words to his brothers who had sold him into slavery: "As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." This amazing perspective reflected a life that had embraced the living God and trusted Him completely.
AS you face the heartaches of life, it is only by complete confidence in the goodness and plan of God that you can overcome. The things that could destroy you can become building blocks on the journey of faith as you look for the hand of God in all circumstances . "This is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith" (1 John 5:4).
If you have never confessed your sin and trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, life can be a jumble of confusion. But the One who gave Himself for you r failures can bring rightness with God, forgiveness of sin, and a new sense of wholeness and purpose into your weary soul. Christ came into the world because of His love for you, and that love can bring an end to the emptiness or bitterness or sinfulness that wracks your life.
Accept by faith the gift of eternal life and personal forgiveness He offers, for the only one way to really overcome forever is to accept the victory of Calvary that He accomplished for you: "The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 6:23). That is real victory - and real overcoming.
