She follows GOD
She thinks of others first. She does what is right
&
She gets the short of the end of the stick
&
She wonders~
IS IT WORTH IT?
Is it worth it to hang in there when I am hanging by a thread?
Is it worth it to watch those who aren't doing what is right,
appearing to be winning in this life?
Is it worth it to do this
CHRISTIAN THING~
To
"TRUST IN THE LORD with all of your heart "(Proverbs 3:5)
To
"DENY himself &take up his cross and follow ME" (Matthew 16:24)
To
"Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD" (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Have you ever been there?
Oh I have & I am sure I will be again,
because as long as we are breathing life hits us at all angles,
& it doesn't matter how "good" you are or "bad" you are.
As I just heard from another who walks the talk & talks the walk,
yet it appears she is losing.
My heart goes out to her & I know that
she will come out on top
& that
GOD has a greater plan that HE is working in the midst of the ugliness
& that JESUS is the only way.
I know that she knows it too.
So how do you keep walking forward when your life appears to be falling apart?
Do you look up to
JESUS
& see
HIM looking into your eyes
as
HE tells you that HE understands what you are going through
& that you are actually called
BLESSED
when you go through these things
because
"BLESSED [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial & perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test & been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the LORD has promised to those who love HIM" (James 1:12)
Oh BLESSED YOU & BLESSED ME
we are all in this together
with the One
who has so much more for us than we can ever imagine.
And YES
IT IS WORTH IT~
this
CHRISTIAN THING~
so let's do it together
because it is forever~
"I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too GOD will make clear to you.
Only let us stay true to what we have already attained" (Philippians 3:14-16 AMP)
