From Jesus
Today, by Sarah Young:
I AM
TRAINING YOU IN THE DISCIPLINE OF perseverance. You are on a long uphill
journey, and sometimes it seems endless to you. Looking back, you can see some
times of ease and refreshment. Looking ahead, however, you see only a
continuing ascent. The top of the mountain you are climbing is nowhere in
sight. I know how hard it is for you to keep going day after day. So I say to
you: “Do not become weary and discouraged
in your soul.”
You live
in a culture dedicated to entertainment and pleasure-seeking. In such a
climate, a life of struggle feels alien. If you are not careful, you will
succumb to self-pity, a sinful snare. To avoid falling into this trap, remember
that I am Sovereign and I am lovingly present with you. Your ongoing struggle
is not a mistake or a punishment. Try
to view it, instead, as a rich opportunity: Your uphill journey keeps you aware
of your neediness, so you look to Me for help. The difficulties in your life
make your heavenly home more precious and real to you. Even now, as you
trustingly whisper My Name, I embrace you in everlasting Love.
Consider Him who endured such
hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged
in your souls. –Hebrews
12:3 NKJV
Have a Wonderful Wednesday,
Dearest Friends…Wherever in the World you are...
