Matthew 11:6
“Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.”
Jesus’s promise to you is that if you stay with Him through thick and thin, He will bless you.
Life has its difficult moments. And God wants to be there for you, to go through it together with you. It is easy to forget about God when everything seems to turn against you. Remember Jesus Christ, whose disciples forsaken Him in his final moments before He was painfully crucified. He has suffered much more than you are ever going to suffer. Take heart, God knows your limits. He will not give you more than what you can bear.
God loves you so much, He respects your free will and always gives you a choice. You, therefore, have to permit God to come to you by seeking Him fervently in prayer.
Do not desert Jesus Christ, for He did not desert you. Instead, He faithfully paid for your sins with his flesh and blood. During tough times, you should all the more seek God and cling on tightly to your faith. Do not forget, your salvation came through that very same faith. It takes two hands to clap, and God is willing to lend you His mighty hand anytime and anywhere.
God is always here for you. Always tell yourself that.
Do not deny your faith or be ashamed of it. Is it so difficult to lay down your sinful pride? It is nothing compared to being crucified, humiliated and going through hell all alone. It is the least you can do for a great God who deserves much more than praise.
Put in your good word for God, and proclaim His greatness.
Let your faith in God stand firm and deeply rooted to the ground regardless of the circumstances. He created the circumstance for a purpose. God is definitely not a sadistic God who delights in suffering.
Be joyful in all circumstances, for God is with you and in you.
Stay with God, always.
And God, who sees your heart in faith, will bless you for being His obedient child.
