God is faithful, even when we are not. He sees the journey we have embarked on, wanting to know him. I was studying Matthew 16 today, thinking about How Peter was commended by Jesus for saying out loud what the Father Revealed: “YOU ARE THE CHRIST”
Later in that same chapter, Jesus rebuked him and said “get behind me satan” because Peter disagreed that Jesus had to go to the cross. Suffering the cross had to happen, for Jesus to save us all.What is your Cross (so to speak?)
For some, it looks like the devil is winning, while you continue on, crucifying the flesh and refusing to deny God and his power to save! Is God going to be faithful to get you through it?
Of course he is! Jesus did not say we would not suffer tribulation in this world. He said if we suffer WITH him we will also rule with him.
“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” 1 Peter 5:10 That is God being Faithful! He himself will restore you.
Just because you are “going through it” does not mean you won’t win (IN HIM).
I was that "unpopular" weird kid, that didn't fit in anywhere, in High School. I guess I never knew my place in life, until Jesus took me in. I've been rejected, misunderstood, left out, bullied, abused, scandalized, and labeled.
In 2002 I got on a bus and left a marraige of sixteen years, that was fraught with abuse and heartache. In school, I used to be so afraid to stand in front of the class and speak, my hands would visibly shake, and I could not look at my audience without being terrified.
Years later, I find myself leading a school music production, speaking in front of churches, and walking around with confidence, because I know the King of Kings is at my side.
My ministry, prayers and blogs are directed toward those who feel like they were never enough. You never fit in.
If I can help you in any way, if you need a special speaker to speak hope to the hurting, or if you would like a copy of my Testimony book (Grace to the Rescue) let me know. I am here for you.
