Rejoice in trials

on 04/April/2013

Beloved–

Ever since I could remember the only one I could be sure I could depend on was me.  As a 20 something, with my life in shambles, my stomach in knots and with no real solution I cried out to God.  Using the Bible verses that he had, often during my childhood, arranged situations where I had to memorize them.   

I remember the joy I felt when I first realized that I was personally included in the Bible verse John 3:16; that there was someone on whom I could depend no matter how dire the situation.  I have had to learn to keep my focus on God and his Word; not on the world.

We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us–they help us to learn to endure (Rom 5:3).  For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love (Rom 5:5b).   

I pray everyday that you can rejoice knowing God loves you so dearly that he sacrificed his only son, Jesus Christ.

Luv Ya!
