We are to push on in difficult times as followers of Christ for we possess a hope that the world cannot touch. This hope results in a zeal for the kingdom of heaven that opposition cannot stifle because we have Christ the King of Christmas at our side.
For anyone going through something and hearing that there is a sunny side to suffering is about as helpful as putting a screen door on a submarine, except when it isn’t.
We are prone to seeing ourselves as better than others, for in our pride we refuse to see the impact of our own actions…
Knowing Christ enables us to live fearlessly and it is when we are without fear, that our lives can truely abound in love.
When we come to Christ with our mistakes and shame, our sins are both forgiven and forgotten by our ever gracious God.
