1 Thessalonians 3:13 NIV
May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the
presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus Christ comes with all His
holy ones.
When I met with God I
was so weak. I did not seem to have any strength within me to deal with
everyday life. He is the One who has strengthened and supported me from the
moment I made my peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. He has increased me in His
love and now it overflows into the hearts of others. He has “set me apart” (for
God) and He is in the process of sanctifying me to become the person He wants
me to become.
It is not easy to let go
of the world but God’s Spirit enables us to do this. He holds us together
through Jesus Christ and we become stronger as He builds each one of us up in
our faith. Our faith is increased to help us to endure whatever we come across within
our lives that day. God wants us to see all things from His point-of-view and
not our own point-of-view. If He allows something to happen to us it is because
He wants to change something within us. He is in the business of changing us
daily into the image of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. He is getting rid of all
those things (sins) we allowed into our lives when we belonged to the world. He deals
with our sins gradually at the pace we can take and He will not give us
anything we cannot handle. He does not want us to rebel or go against Him.
Whatever He is doing within our lives He is doing it for our own good. He wants
the best for each one of His children and so we should allow Him the freedom to
do whatever He wants to do and not be the obstacles standing in His way of Him
putting our lives right. We go from strength to strength in the name of the
Lord. God does not get things wrong. He knows what He is doing and why He is
doing it. This is when we should walk by faith and not by sight and trust in Him
to do what He knows is right and best for our individual lives.
