Ever feel like there is no end in sight?
“Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord, no matter what happens. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that He has promised..”
Patient endurance…
That can be so hard!
In my trials, I have to admit, I have the hardest time looking up… I can get so burdened with the details that I forget life is still going on around me.
It’s way too easy for me to feel self consumed, and even lose my sense of humor…
And that is the worst…
especially when there seems to be more hard times than easy ones!
That’s just life…
To learn patient endurance is a gift…
It takes my focus off of instant gratification, and instant happiness. Life is a journey. A process of learning. Of growing..
Life is never, ever, going to be perfect. But it can always be good…
God promises to love us, and to never leave us. He laughs with us; cries with us and protects us.
And to know that He is always near. To know that He is holding my heart in His hands, releases the pressure of my life needing to be perfect, and places my hope in His truths that He has great plans for me…
And that makes me smile…
Dear Heavenly Father, As I come before Your courts, low beneath Your presence, I so thank You for my life…
I thank You for Your great protection and peace. Your great love and amazing comfort.
Today, as I seek to do Your will in my day.. loving, caring and drawing others into your presence, may I keep my eyes on Your great rewards…
Heaven, the peace that transcends all understanding; and the joy of living under Your wing…
I love You,
In Jesus Holy Name,
Amen
“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:7
Live In Love,
