Certainly, the woes of this life weigh upon us, but they can be lifted through faith in our Lord.
Everyone saved is tempted by the evil. Courage, strength, and perseverance are not just tools to withstand this turbulence.
They are gifts acquired through tribulation. Romans Chapter 5 is always in my heart.
1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3And not only
so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
These verses are like nourishment, and fill me in ways I cannot explain as the spirit assists me in prayer.
They give me the hope I need to use introspection like a looking glass.
When I do I feel His spirit with me, like it has been magnified.
That beautiful hope of salvation is all I need sometimes.
Sometimes in our own humanity we make things more difficult than they need to be.
Other times, it is our humanity itself that makes life difficult.
During those times is when I find myself most thankful for our Fathers love, in the name of His Son Jesus Christ.
You are always an inspiration to be a better soldier for Christ,
Tsavah2. ...and you're welcome
I signed on the be poetic today, but was inspired to respond.
Maybe later I will share a write.
