You know,
There comes a time in your life when you are going through the motions so much that it feels like it's the real thing. Is that not completely devastating to you? I feel like that as a Christian we should hold others accountable for their "premeditated walk of faith"... DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!
In our "Premeditated walk" we find ourselves standing in our own self-pity. Not praising God and not letting Him control our lives. We get into a routine that makes us start to slip. In the midst of or "GREAT FALL" we tend to go though things that make us feel like we are suffering/struggling. Are we really in that much pain... Are we in such a great pain that we can compare it to Jesus' suffering and His pain? NO...
WE DO NOT GO THROUGH THINGS THAT WE CAN'T HANDLE. JESUS DOES NOT PUT US THROUGH THINGS WE CAN'T HANDLE.
Jesus teaches us through our trials and He shows us that when we truly follow Him that we are going to be OK! You may not get the point of it all now, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO, but you will have a peace about it. Jesus does not allow you to go through things to punish you but to mold you into a better servant. Take this into consideration the next time you think your world is falling a part. SOMEONE ELSE HAD IS WORSE... JESUS!
In saying that, it leads me to my point: COMPLETE SATISFACTION!
In our walk with Christ, WE SHOULD BE COMPLETELY SATISFIED! We should NEVER question His reasoning nor should we wallow in self pity. We should praise Him in all weather... STORMS INCLUDED. Jesus loves US... DO NOT DEPRIVE HIM OF THE LOVE HE DESERVES BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH YOUR LIFE.
PRAISE JESUS!!
