Our Father in Heaven has a eternal vision for lives. He is molding us with everything that happens. He knows why He has allowed everything World wide. God, our Creator will get Glory in all things. We do not see as He sees, our job is to hang on to Jesus through good times and bad times. As in any marriage, our marriage to Jesus is till death, death of our selves, our ego, and old ways. Then death gives us life, eternal life, with our eternal God. As Jesus says, we are to take up our cross daily and follow Him.
Oh to be as Jesus, the all consuming love of God. By His grace we are being sanctified daily. This is why we are here on earth. 1. To love God with all our hearts. 2. To love our neighbors as ourselves. The only everlasting love we can show, is when we share Jesus with our neighbors. Who is our neighbors, everyone who passes our daily paths.
Paul said: even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
