Many people go through things in life that they feel they cannot not bear or they feel like they cannot get out of their situation. We must know that in life it will be hard times, trials, tribulations, and even persecutions. (Only for a season or two) Start looking at this trial and asking yourself, what is God trying to teach me.
In God's word, Jesus tells us that we will have tribulations, but he also tells us to be of good cheer because he has overcome the world. John 16:33 (KJV) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
In 2 Timothy 3:12-15 (KJV) it says, Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise is in Christ Jesus.
Jesus says in John 15:19 (KJV) If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also. "Remember everything red that's written in red in the Bible is Jesus Christ talking."
After, reading these verses how does it make you feel? Does it make you feel better knowing that Jesus Christ has been through the same thing you may be going through. I have been there. Sometimes it still happens, but when you seek God's face and you are in the word of God, prayer, and live a fasted life, it will ease the feelings of hurt, and pain because you know who you are in Christ; you know who God has called you to be, and you know your identity in Christ so what do you do with that? I have a perfect answer for you, continue to PUSH forward. Move that feeling of you can't do this, or you can't do that, and walk your purpose out, your God-ordained purpose out.
Did you forget that God knew your entire life before the foundation of the world? Ephesians 1:4 (KJV) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to praise the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Did you forget that God knew you before you were in your mother's womb? Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations.
Did you forget that Jesus Christ chose you, you didn't choose him? John 15:16 (KJV) Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
PUSH FORWARD people are waiting on YOU.
