What is increased by difficult circumstances

 

When we have done all we can, we must still wait for God to accomplish His purposes. As we wait, we can fix our eyes on Jesus as a companion who empathizes with our suffering and a Savior who is working behind the scenes. Difficult circumstances seem to increase our ability to experience intimacy with Christ. ~ Ruthann Ridley

What we need to live like

There is a line in a song that asks

“Do I live like your love is true?“

I love that !

What a radical thing it would be if we, as Christians would do just that.

If we would trust God enough to actually do what He calls us to do (even if we are scared or even if we have to wait), because we know that He loves us enough to be watching over us and will guide us to where He wants to be.

So often I think God could not be saying that to me, and I remain silent.

I tell myself it is not God, because in reality I am afraid that if I step out I might look stupid, or might get myself in a bad situation.

But living like God actually really loves me, means not holding back.

It means following my father’s lead and not being afraid because I KNOW that He LOVES ME and will get me to where I need to be.

I am tired of living as a laid back Christian.

 

We are called to be radical.

 

After all Jesus did just that and we are supposed to follow Him.

And to be radical we just need to live like we are loved!!!

 

Song lyrics from Live Like That (Sidewalk Prophets)

Faith knows this
