When God inhabits the imperfect and broken pieces in our lives, the healing hope of His power is often more visible to others. Yes, His repair work in our hearts often leaves the scars of cracks. But perhaps those lines from our learning are the etchings in our beings that make His character more visible to others. [Elisa Morgan]
[2 Corinthians 4:7-18] “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed,but not in despair; persecuted,but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”Since we have that same spirit of faith,we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.“
Dear God, when I’m lost and hurt, you know how to comfort me through Scriptures. You are amazing 😪❤️
So to you who is feeling down in the dumps, I feel you. But remember that feelings are temporary. When everything is gone, when all you feel is hurt and pain. When you feel betrayed or cheated on, never lose your sanity. Keep that faith within you and trust the process. Have faith that everything will be okay. Have faith that the pain will soon go away and the scars of the pain will be there but it will be healed and in time, you’ll get better.
Cheer up. You might be broken today but you will be whole again. There’s a rainbow after the rain. 🌈
