I was reading through these thoughts that were being shared amongst some brothers and sister in CHRIST. I found myself very blessed by what was shared and wanted to pass along the last portion here.in CHRIST JESUS there is hope.
God bless

WHAT IF we were to “look to JESUS, the Author and Finisher of our Faith” as the fulfillment of every need, and every hope and dream that brings pleasure to the Father?!
WHAT IF the Father has all of His sufficiency for every issue and every insecurity, every worry, pressure and confusion all bound up in His Son? It is so! Every issue of life and Life is perfectly formed and resolved in the Love of God and His Wisdom, and He’s training us to See the universe as He sees it, and to trust Him in all ways. We don’t need the gall to dull the pain, but rather to commit our lives into the Father’s Hands, in all things. And, in this we are being trained to be like Him and to be a Bride fit to be yoked for all Eternity to the King of Kings! Hallelujah!!
Trust Him—turn to Him and His Thoughts about the matter that troubles you. “Think on THESE things”—not the false fix of sin—when you feel discouragement or trapped by things out of your control…………
