“God brings us to the end of ourselves so that we may see the beginning of His grace.” — J.C. Ryle.
The heart of worship is not in the moods moments or feelings; but in submission.
It is the willingness of a believer to stand before the sovereignty of God without negotiations, without conditions, and entitlement.
Our hearts may shake. Our understanding may be narrow. But the foundation underneath us does not move.
Thus; Whatever our lot,
Our hearts will learn to Praise the Lord.
For our joy and peace are appointed by a Father who is good and does not abandon His own.
Amen!
Attempting great things for God might mean being uncomfortable. It might mean failing once or twice; or twenty times. But every attempt for God is a seed. And the Lord records every effort made in obedience.
God Loves Us. And it's not in way that is vague, but in a way that is love deep, and eternal, so powerful, that even the Bible says it calls us children of God.
“Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God. And so we are.” 1 John 3:1
God’s refining process is not rushed.
The heat of trails and struggles are not nice or friendly. The more reason why God doesn’t walk away from the fire. He stands as the fourth man in the fire with us and sits with us, watches us, and He doesn’t remove us from the fire until He sees His reflection in us.
Luke 18:8, “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
If today was your last day, if the Lord came knocking, would He look at you and say? “Well done, good and faithful servant?
Ask yourself!
Faith grows over time.
It’s not something we have in full from the beginning; it’s develops through our experiences, struggles and our encounters with God.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:15
“Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” Jeremiah 31:3

Because God will always give us sugar to go with vinegar.
The Lord knows us and every struggle we have. And He cares a lot for His people.
We are called to godliness, and thus must strive to live it out in word and practice. Knowing that God has made available all that we need to live lives pleasing to Him.

If you are in doubts, talk to the one who bears the scars and find your comfort.

Whatever our God ordains is right! He never will deceive nor harm us. For this we ought to take whatever He permits our way with a heart of gratitude for though they don’t please us, they are for our good.
