Don't Give Up
If you find yourself in a season of suffering and you want a break through, keep fighting the good fight of faith. Because your own temporal comfort and satisfaction can come at the expense of a redemptive end.
Living with the spirit takes death and gives life. But living with worldly ambition takes life and gives death. In other words living with worldly ambition at first gives you a lot and takes from you little. But as time goes by it begins to give you less and takes from you more. Until it reaches a point where it gives you nothing and takes from you everything.
Some people may tell you that you’re useless, that you’re beyond repair, that you’re unworthy, that you’re a lost cause. But the truth is your none of those things. God wants you to know that you have a future worth living. In Christ you are found to be above reproach and blameless (Col 1:22 & 2Pet 3:14) before him. You are not only worthy, you are loved, you have value, and you are made holy in his image.
God is leading you in the season your in because he wants to teach you something. He needs you to embrace this season and learn through it what he needs you to learn. God doesn't want to keep you where your at. He wants you to grow stronger out of it so he can get you to the next place he has set before you.
He is using this season to create something extraordinary in you that you probably can’t even identify yet. He is accomplishing something great in you, so he can do something great through you.
We know that no matter what we go through Christ has our best interest at heart. As we put more and more of our trust in Christ, our prospective of our self and the activities in our life will change. There comes a point in each of our life where we will want to put away our old ways and lean more into our new ways. Trusting in Christ you will not only find yourself becoming different, you will find yourself also wanting to embrace that difference.
The decisions you make today will determine the story you tell tomorrow. Taking the steps to embrace the change in the season your going through will not only strengthen your own relationship with God. But through your testimony God is able to lead others to Christ as well.
God Is Calling You
“It’s difficult to see the whole forest when your standing in the midst of the trees.”
At the time of our suffering we may not understand why it is we are going through it. But we can trust that God knows the outcome and how it will work for our own good. When you feel that you’re failing or you feel that you’re worthless or you feel like quitting Don’t Give Up. See yourself as Jesus sees you.
Do you need to be reminded who you are?
You’re more than the choices that you’ve made.You’re more then the sum of your past mistakes. You’re more then the problems that you create. You’re loved and are being remade. There has been a great price that has been paid for you. If that price didn’t need to be paid for all of us he would of paid it just for you.
Do you need to be reminded whats been done for us?
“For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:3–7
