ENJOYING LIFE, EVEN WHEN THINGS APPEAR TO BE GOING ALL WRONG

Jonelle Maxwell

How many times do we get discouraged when things has gone left? If we really want to be honest, all of us at some point in our lives have been very discouraged. We’ve ask God, “How long must this go on until I receive a breakthrough?”

With our minds constantly in turmoil, worrying and wondering, we are desperately looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.

I’ve been here too. I’ve found in difficult times is when God is working the most. This is also when His faithfulness is revealed to us. We see that the Father have our best interest at heart. When we focus on His love for us, we can rest assured, He will turn it around for our good.

*And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Recently, the passing away of my Bible mentor for 16 years, really was and is difficult for those that was close to him to grasp. We all know, he is with the Lord. However, there’s still a selfish part in all of us that says, “Why Lord?” He lived a righteous life, and walked intensely in the calling for his life. He loved people and gave out of his own pockets. Although, he may not had enough for himself, he still gave. These are the things, we all have thought in our minds over and over. But, we still see the faithfulness of God through it all.

*They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:23)

Again, we must understand God’s unwavering faithfulness towards us. He know everything before things happens in all of our lives and he is faithful to see us through it, with endurance.

Let’s focus on the faithfulness of God and His loving kindness. God is able to encourage and comfort us every step of the way.

Our Father is definitely with us. Let us not lose heart during times like this. Our Father loves us!
