Be Strong!

God is good and is always there for us. God never leaves us alone even in the seemingly endless path of suffering. Trust that He is always leading and guiding. He will not disappoint those who hope in Him and take refuge in Him. He disciplines those whom He called His sons and daughters, only so that we may share in His Holiness, molding us to be like Himself. He also said to remember Jesus, whom by looking to the joy set before Him, endured the cross and despised shame. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Fret not yourself over the one who prospers in His way over the man who carries out evil devices. There will be sweet fruits after the pruning which is good for us and glorifying God.

Remember always what He has done for you, something that you can not do for yourself, which is to secure you a place in heaven. Yea, God is forever pleased with you because of Christ, because of Christ. God no longer look at you instead He looks to Christ's righteousness whom you've allowed to be your own Saviour. Because no matter how hard you try, you will fail in meeting His requirements. It is foolishness to confide in the flesh. Be at rest, because what Christ has done is sufficient. He is in control of all things, of your future, of your circumstances, of your whole life. Submit and surrender to Him. This is a path to greater joy.

He said that His grace is sufficient for us for His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. So, we should be glad over our weaknesses because the power of Christ shall rest upon us. He become more and I become less. Trust that He had provided the strength and necessary things required for the unpleasant journey. God is good for us. God is always gracious and merciful.

The end of your painful journey will be beautiful and rewarding. When you look back, you'll be able to smile and say, it's all worth it!
