Romans 8:29-30
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
If God is going to create in us the image of his son in the same way a sculptor makes a statue, he is not going to use a manicure set.
He is going to use a hammer and a chisel. both very blunt, crud instruments but they get the Job done.
Don't be shocked if you suffer in this life. That is how God intended it.
Do you honestly believe that you are suppose to be happy all the time in a world that is fallen and cursed. Genesis 3:16-19
Don't get me wrong, we should always be grateful and try to find Joy in God and in all he has done for us no mater what our circumstances are. I Thessalonians 5: 16-18
But Life is going to be painful some times. really, really painful.
Like child birth. John 16:21 There's will be time of great Joy and there will be times of great sorrow.
To assume that a woman can go through child birth without some discomfort or pain is ridicules. But isn't worth it?
Yet people are shock or discouraged and angry with God when they go through trials and tribulations in this life. But If this works in creating the Image of his Son in you and to gain eternal life isn't it worth it?
To be a Christian can sometime be painful but It does have to be miserable.
In our pain we can still find Joy in God as crazy as that sounds no matter what our circumstances are, Philippians 4:11.
God will allow us to feel PAIN to awake our need for him and it show the real motives in our hearts. Sometime PAIN is necessary in order to soften our hearts to GOD and more deepen our love for him. Ecclesiastes 7:3
Sometime God does that.
Sometimes he has to do that.
How else is he suppose to get your attention?
Oh LORD in the name of you Son I thank you once again for the message that you shared with us.
Mercy, Peace and Strength in GOD
Amen
