Earlier today, I was deeply saddened of how a young teenage girl decided to end her life because she was cruelly harassed by her friends and classmates. It is really concerning to know that the world around us can at times seem so mean. But, as young persons and even adults = we must remind ourselves that the storms that come against us in life (no matter how severe they may seem) will come to an end.
No tornado or hurricane lasts forever. And, even though some storms in our life seem to cause us great emotional devastation and we seem to suffer the loss of many friends, and perhaps even the loss of self-esteem, honor, and integrity = there is still Hope!
It may take some time, and it may take some hard work. And, maybe it may seem that we are too weak to carry on and to move beyond, finding it difficult to put things behind us.
That is when we truly need to get down on our knees and cry out to the Lord! We need to turn our ears to His Word: through prayerful study and daily reading of the Bible. It is then that His Strength will come to the troubled areas of our heart.
We must take courage knowing that the same God who took mere clay, formed it, and then breathed into it life = He is the same God who can take the broken pieces of our life and our heart and mend them back together by the Power of His Word!
Jesus wants to be a very real and personal Friend to you = who will never accuse you, or ever expose you, but will love on you, nurture you, protect you, strengthen you, and will help you to have success if you will simply give your heart to Him to change and make new.
Remember these words “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8: 1 ~ And, “If any man be in Christ old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.” II Corinthians 5: 17
Be encouraged = because in God’s eyes you are always special. He has specific plans that He will reveal to you a little at a time, so have patience = never give up and never quit. IF you hold on long enough = you are sure to win, because He is ever faithful who promised.
Encourage yourself and those around you through the Power of His Word. Turn a deaf ear to those things that are hurtful and not of the Lord. Press into His Presence and count it all joy as you live an exciting adventure following after Christ. When adversity comes your way, REJOICE because the Lord will be with you to see you through, and you will have an exciting tale to tell of what God has done in your life!
Please feel free to contact us for prayer at any time. We love you all very much!
