But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 11 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2co.4.7-11.KJV This scripture is a perfect example of the faith and passion of a believer. Of what we call a 'lively hope'. In other words, perspective changes when you come in contact with Jesus. A new creature emerges naturally. With Christ suddenly what seemed impossible becomes possible, what was ugly becomes beautiful, where there was lack, surplus abounds! So that's why in faith, a believer can encourage and motivate others, so that they too can catch the vision. Therefore when others see disappointment, you see grand opportunities. When others see weakness, you find strength. In doom and shame, you rejoice! When persecution arises, you're not perturbed! That's The resurrection power of Jesus Christ hidden and alive in You! Everything we do is for His glory! Romans 5:3-5, 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 It's in rejection that we find ourselves. It's on the battlefield that characters are formed. It's the fight/war that tests and proves a warrior! Embrace every situation for it is, a lesson to be learned and a victory to be won! It has been done before, Jesus Christ, son of The Living God, He came, he bled, died and rose again! So that we may have life! As an example for the believers to emulate and follow step by step- 'It is finished!', 'I have overcome the world'. Let purpose be your driving force. Let your treasure be a guiding light for others, guard and protect it! Let your light shine just enough to be seen, just enough to stay hidden and for curiosity to be peaked! Let praises rise! Let God arise in you! Greater is He that's in you that he that's in the world! Let, there are more with us than with them be made manifest in you! So the next time you feel: Sad, remember the JOY of The Lord is your strength! Defeated, remember I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me! Lonely, remember The Lord said I won't leave you nor forsake you! Helpless, remember Look to the hills from how hence cometh your help... Trouble, remember God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in time of trouble! Be encouraged! Let not your hearts be troubled! Trust in God. Walk by faith! Rejoice always! Be Blessed. Be a Blessing. KRMB
