Some of you
might think that I am over doing this God’s grace is enough.
Some may
want just a Joel Osteen message with everything going your way.
God does
want to bless us.
God does
want us to live abundantly.
God does
want to give us good things.
God wants
the world to see that he blesses us.
God loves us
more than we can image.
But we will
have trouble in the world. That’s from Jesus. We will have trouble in the
world.
What I hope
you keep with you is that, regardless of the circumstance, you have won the
ultimate victory. You will be in right standing with God for eternity.
God wants
you to live abundantly, so how does trouble fit into abundance?
God will
take whatever comes at you and use it for good. Realize that sometimes that
good is a lesson for us. Sometimes it is a lesson for all.
If we want
to live abundantly, we must be ready to grow. Our discomfort in growing will go
away the more that we grow.
It feels
uncomfortable at first because we don’t do it enough. Growth is a part of
abundance.
Sometimes,
trouble precipitates that growth. No
worries, we have already won the big victory.
God’s grace
is enough. We struggle and we grow without risk of losing our salvation. If we
die, we will still be with the Lord. If we live to be 120, we will still be
with the Lord for eternity.
Remember,
everything we go through here is temporary. We get joy and sorrow, but eternal
joy is promised.
We have
health and suffering, but we will live forever in our new bodies.
We have high
times and low, but our greatest victory was given to us by Jesus. God’s grace
that we know is Jesus is enough.
Let’s say it
together: Lord, your grace is enough.
