I've Got Some Good News
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31, 33-39
Life can sometimes be very upsetting to you and even then God can and will work the situation out just for you. God chose you which makes you apart of the elite. Good news, What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? You are not designed to fight your own battles. The battle is not yours. You will never learn how to give your battles to the Lord by avioding the "hot spots" in your life. You can learn by hearing, believing, and applying God's word to your life. Hardships come to help you grow and develop your Christian faith.
A songwriter wrote: The road gets rough, the going gets tough and the hills are hard to climb. I started out a long time ago, there is no doubt in my mind. I decided to make Jesus, my choice.
Conclusion: I invite you to make Jesus your choice. If you have already made Jesus your choice just remember to be accepting of all situations that you face in life your Heavenly Father will see you through.
