God knows. He knows your situation, your fears and your anguish… and He will answer when the time comes. So keep, praying, keep believing.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Wishing is not enough; we must do. -Johann Von Goethe

You gotta set a certain standard for your life and the people around you, your environment, and your habits have to match this standard no exceptions!

We feel the pain and loss now, and we do not see the end from the beginning, as God does, yet God tells us that the sufferings we have to endure in this world are not worthy to be compared with the glory He has laid up for His people in heaven (Rom. 8:18).

📝 - @amy_klutinoty ⇠ follow! . The Apostle Paul’s prayer for the thorn to be removed from his life, wasn’t necessarily denied by God, it just wasn’t answered the way he expected. . “My grace is sufficient for you", God compassionately replied. “My power is made perfect in weakness.” . You know, I wonder if Paul let out a heavy sigh after hearing God’s response. Yes, we know Paul’s response was to say, “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” But…even still…the process leading up to that moment was not an easy one for Paul. . He didn’t receive the answer I am sure he was hoping for, but we have learned through his story that; what may be a hardship to us, is an invitation to God. What we so often consider a “no” from God, can actually be translated into an invitation to better understand who He is. . God could have removed this “thorn”, but then Paul would have missed out on the sweet revelation and strength of God’s sustaining grace. He became even closer to God which was inevitably what he needed all along. More of God is always the answer. . I urge you today to take a moment to consider this truth in your own life. Is there a prayer you have written off as a “no” from God, and have thrown into your inventory of disappointments? . Could it be that He is extending the same offer to you as He did to Paul? To better know Him and personally experience His redeeming grace? God may not always remove the tough circumstance, but rest assure, He will strengthen you by His grace to endure and finish the race. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Mbnd1f
