“I know that all that happens to me is working for my good if I love God and I am fitting into His plans.”
— Romans 8:28 (TLB), personalized
We have the priviledge of being His children because we choose to live for Jesus Christ. The Lord gives us the strength to live for Him. We live under a constant cloud of grace. It might not seem so to other people or even to ourselves; our lives may seem difficult to those who cannot see the transforming power manifesting in our hearts.
We live for the glories of having the Creator of the Universe living within our bodies; we become a temple for the Holy Spirit. We have peace, love, joy, and wisdom as our support tools for everyday living, and that is why we can still enjoy our lives even in the most impossible of situations. The others around us wonder how we are able to cope with all of the craziness and confusion in the world.
Our focus should be on what God wants to do in our circumstances when our troubles seem impossible to overcome; that is when we put our trust in Jesus, the author and finisher our our faith. Our issues will not defeat us, because we have the promptings of the Holy Spirit urging us to wait patiently for our deliverance - I hear the Holy Spirit saying to our hearts, 'stand and see what the Lord will do in this place you find yourself in, you will have complete victory, and God will get all of the glory'...
Therefore, as children of God our bad times will not destroy us but will uplift us, as we experience the overwhelming love and presence of Jesus Christ in our hearts, and as we experience the power of the living God in our lives. We cannot understand who He is if we have never had a victory in our lives because of His Grace and Mercy.
This is the basis of our relationship with the Lord - it has nothing to do with religion or religious practices. At the end of the day, when we find ourselves in a bad situations with no help in sight, what should we do next? We pray for deliverance, we stand on the word of God and proclaim His promises that are ours because of our relationship with Him. Unbelievers cannot claim these promises, and no amount of religious traditions or practices can activate His word in your life. Do you know what can activate it? Repeat this Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I am so sorry for my sins, please come into my heart right now, I want to live for you, please come into my life and so that I will know the peace of God and be safe in your hands...
Hallelujah!! You have just entered the Kingdom of God - The Holy Spirit is within you now, ask the Lord to guide into this new relationship in your life, and love Him with all of your heart, with all of your mind, and with all of your soul...
