So many times in life we may feel as if nobody cares. Other times we might feel as if God cares about us or the situation I am in. The answer to these questions is yes. Jesus knew everything about you before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5). He knew every heartache you would face, every mountain, every storm, and every tear you would cry.
Today let me tell you that God is working on your behalf (Romans 8:28; Jeremiah 29:11). You might think He is not there but the teacher is always silent during the test (James 1:2-4). Today know that Jesus sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24; Deuteronomy 31:6).
Even though the world might not like you or you might not fit into the world. Many may have called you trash or garbage and even stupid. Remember that they hated Him first (John 15:18). It does not matter what people say about but what does your heavenly father say about you? To God, you’re His greatest creation His treasure. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). You have the mindset of Christ.
You are today the head and not the tail. You are above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13). If this was not so then why did God give His only son to die so that He could spend forever with you (John 3:16). Your heavenly father will let nothing get in the way of His love for you (Romans 8: 35-39). No matter what situation you’re going through He is there and He loves you. No matter what people say God says His love for you is never-ending. No matter what it may be He says trust me because I love you.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore (Hebrew 13:8). If He did for Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 21:1-3) Joseph (Genesis 41:41-45), Hannah (1 Samuel 1:20), Jephthah (Judges 11) Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20), Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Daniel 3:19-30), Daniel(Daniel 6:16-28), and many more than surely yours is underway. Your delays are not denials because. He deals with time. He makes all things beautiful in His time(Ecclesiastes 3:1-11), so learn to be patient (Psalm 37:7-9). The patient of Job brought him to double what he lost before (Job 42:12-16).
Men of honor are those who survived what could have killed others. They stood for their faith (2 Timothy 4:7). In their veins is a passion for what they are doing no matter the challenges or obstacles that will come their way. They were willing to die for a cause and kept on fighting until their visions were accomplished.
Keep moving on because there is light at the end of the tunnel. David was right when wrote in Psalm 23: that ‘Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…..’.Stop standing in the rain and move on because you will be drowned if you stand in the rain. Endurance is the language of champions. Life to me is like climbing a mountain. The peak is our target but we rest when we are tired to gather the strength to continue. No complacency while we are resting because the mountain peak is our target. When you fall on the way rise quickly to your feet and continue the journey (Proverbs 24:16; Jeremiah 3:22; Revelation 2:5).
Your ministry will be prosperous, your work will flourish, the promotion is underway, your relationship and marriage won’t break up, and whatever you are going through today will be history tomorrow for with God all things are possible(Mark 10:24). Never give up for the next generation needs your unleashed potentials.
