Don’t consent that the despondence can be a cloud to cramp your vision of the heavenly kingdom:

  • “You have covered yourself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. You have covered yourself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. You have made us as the waste and refuse in the midst of the people.” (Lamentations 3.44,45).

After mulling over, came into my mind that this cloud arises in the life of Jeremiah in virtue of the mopey situation that they were living.

It’s obvious that, when we depart from Jesus, we make ourselves into offscourings and refuse. And praise be the Lord Jesus for this, because the world only loves what appertain to it (John 15.19). Nonetheless, as Jesus choose us from the world, its citizens hate us.

Praise Jesus for He turn you into something contemptible before the world and never pray for being renowned, inasmuch as the world only extol what is abhorrent before the Lord (Luke 16.15) and only laud the false prophets (Luke 6.26).

So, pray to be pleasant to Jesus, to be accepted for Him, to be able to live for Him (1John 4.9) and, certainly, you will be welcomed by the right people, to wit, for those who will be a blessing in your life and vice-versa. If you are sorry for you disdain from the world, certainly your prayer won’t be answered in according to what you expect, and praise be Jesus for this. Can you fancy how terrible is Jesus give you what will set you apart from Him and people that He created specially to share gifts, love and fellowship with you?

In short: set to seek in Jesus who veritable are you, what your mission here and what is your inheritance in Him (see Psalms 25.14) and have a pretty day free of all cloud that hampers you of contemplate the heaven opened to you.
