We are told He is the Alpha and the Omega
We are told He is the “I Am”
We are told He is Love
We are told He is Just because He is a God of order
We are told He is the Creator, the Provider, the Comforter, the Healer, and the Almighty, that His Grace is sufficient.
We are told to believe
We are told to forgive
We are told not to worry
We are told to be quiet and to be still (spiritually)
We are told to work hard
We are told to be humble
We are told to mind our own business
We are told to love and trust Him in all ways
We are told to Abide in Him
We are told to love our brothers and sisters, even our enemies.
We are told to be peaceful and kind, even hospitable
We are told to be wise and gentle, (ultimate balance)
We are told to persevere
We are told to walk justly
We are told to serve
We are told to pray
We are told to read His word and to share the good news…
We are told to grow.
We are given sound instructions by a God that shows He is good. He is where our Loyalties should go. He makes sense. I don't understand the pain and suffering, but I do know that all corruption and evil points to what happens without Him. Satan’s gnawing on the bone, saying we don't need Him has given us trouble since He went down that dark and destructive pit of senseless and bleak ignorance long long ago. We have hope in a society and in our own lives for growth. He, however, is the catalyst, the hope, and the sustenance required for transformation. I know that I have my own character flaws and that I'm plenty broken. But with Him, I know growth will always be my go to. We can all lean on this truth…
Growing pains hurt, but they are better than the repetitious pain that comes from not growing at all.
I know my Lord is not indifferent to any suffering, especially with children. Life as a believer isn't easy, nor so for the unbeliever. The difference between the two, besides the truth, is the hope of something better.
In Him, our flesh too can rest in hope.
