"And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." Romans 5:3-5
Over the years, I discovered that the only thing that comforts me in times of agony, pains, disappointment and heartbreak is the mere fact that; JESUS LOVES ME and would always provide a listening ear to my problems, and where the need arises, a shoulder to lean on. If you are humble in working and walking with Christ, you would realize that this singular fact about the master is true for that is the nature of God His father. We live in a world of change, where peace and joy quickly give way to sorrow and anguish. There is hardly any form of security in life as we are constantly battered by uncertainties, attack of ignorance and human failings. All the above notwithstanding, there is hope, and that hope is, BELIEVING THAT JESUS LOVES YOU. I know some will say at this point; “we have heard this before, and things have not changed”. The reason you may not witness a drastic change in your peculiar adverse situation is because of your lack of patient, and your inability to remove the wool pulled across your eyes, preventing you from beholding the reality of the moment.
First, take note that the devil has a subtle way of playing tricks on our consciousness; and that he does perfectly well by making us extremely impatient. And when we are not patient, the Grace of God is lost on us. Therefore, in the midst of any storm, there is a sure and absolute hope. Not a hope that is in question, but a hope that waits patiently for redemption and relief. The victory you seek is assured, when you believe in God’s Love - and the promise of God is unfailing. The word of God is telling us today that those who put their faith in Jesus Christ, who accept God's free offer of grace and love, wait patiently and expectantly for the Lord's return and for His help and strength in the meanwhile, no matter how complicated their peculiar problem might be. When we are prayerfully patient in humility, we begin to experience the unfolding power of God’s love. Therefore, let us embrace every trial with PATIENT and HOPE for the visitation of God to our life.
