Good morning and good day! Praise the Lord for the wonder of his grace and majesty! Why do we need to become as children to enter the Kingdom of God? There are several reasons, trust being one, but I like the way a child runs to the embrace of his or her father. That is what Jesus wants of us, to run into his embrace like a child. Enthusiasm, joy, love, and worship are all part of this running to the embrace of our Father, our Abba. Let the glory of the Lord shine on us today. You may feel set apart or set aside by the world. A tragedy in your life, a condition of your health, or emotional problems may lead to a feeling of loneliness or not belonging. Well praise God that we don't belong to the world, for it is headed for destruction. In time we will arrive at the point where we can thank and glorify God for our trials in this world. Some trials are quite intense; losing a spouse, friend, or particularly, a child, can be terrible experiences as we have seen from our friends in Christ. However, the Lord will bear us up and we will rejoice with him in heaven on that glorious day!
In those experiences of loss and pain, we also have the opportunity to experience the love of those Christ has given to us in this world. That is not to say that any of us should seek out pain or injury, only that in the times of deepest sorrow or pain our Lord truly shines brightly in our life and in those who love as Jesus did.
Let it rise...
