You told God that you needed a sign, and He made sure this came across your screen.

God has removed you from a table where you used to sit in order to save you from a host who was serving you poison. Let that sink in.

Continue to pray. Continue to trust. Continue to wait. Continue to heal.

Our Lord isolates you before he elevates you. It may seem like everything around you is falling apart, but He has more in store for you than you could ever imagine.

You’re asking for a rose when our Heavenly Father wants the whole garden to be yours.

As Matthew 19:26 says - “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

Therefore stop holding back, stop holding on so tightly onto the familiar pain buried inside your heart. Let the Lord clean your heart and your mind out in the image of his son in Christ, according to his will.

It may not make a lot of sense right now but if you just finally let go of what you have in mind, God can give you something better.

Many of us cling onto things beyond our control, internalizing them and causing ourselves stress, anxiety, depression…

Free yourself from these burdens by pouring out your heart to the Lord. Take a moment to be honest with yourself, acknowledge what troubles you, and then trust God enough to let Him take over. As you wait for God's help, remember He might be waiting for you to reach out to Him.

May God bless you all, in Jesus’s name ; Amen

Jesus Knew Disciples Would Be Hated By The World

Jesus knew carrying His mission forward in the world would not be easy. He was hated by the world. He knew that the disciples would be hated by the world. 

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you" (John 15:18-19)

He knew that the world would hate them partially because they would be associated with the one the world hated (Jesus). But he also knew they would be hated because as they grew in love, obedience, and fruitfulness, they would have the same effect on the world as him.

But Jesus says be bold - be courageous - for the Spirit will be with you, “He (the Spirit) will testify about me. And you must also testify.." (John 15:26-27)

Take comfort in knowing that the type of people Jesus has called us to be, the type of people He showed us how to be, the type of people that change the world, the type of people that help push His Kingdom forward, are the ones that the world hates. Jesus isn’t calling us to be liked by the world. He is calling us to love Him at all costs. To follow Him at all cost. To continue His mission at all costs.
