What God Promises

He doesn’t promise sunny days, just rainbow at the end of a storm.

He doesn’t  promise silver & Gold but to promise for your needs.

He doesn’t promise to make your life trouble free, just to give you the strength to see things through. He doesn’t promise all the answers.

Just that He’ll direct your path. He doesn’t promise you understanding but faith that will see you through. He doesn’t promise freedom from despair only joy and peace in believing.

He doesn’t promise that you’ll never fail, just that your strength and hope will be renewed

He doesn’t promise you’ll have no fesrs but that He is always there.

Most of all He promises unconditional and everlasting love . Have Faith.

 

Faith is the answer to every doubt every fear, and every question. Faith assures you that you can and you will.

Grace

So many hurts.  When teachers ignore your work, their neglect hurts. When your girlfriend drops you, when your husband abandons you, when the company fires you, it hurts.  Rejection always does.  People bring pain.
Sometimes deliberately.  Sometimes randomly.
So where do you turn?  Hitman.com?  Jim Beam and friends?  Pity Party Catering Service?  Retaliation has its appeal.  But Jesus has a better idea!
Grace is not blind.  It sees the hurt full well.  But Grace chooses to see God’s forgiveness even more.  Hebrews 12:15 asks us to, “See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.”
Where grace is lacking, bitterness abounds.  Where grace abounds,  forgiveness grows.  Forgiveness may not happen all at once.  But it can happen with you.
