Beholding and Becoming #13

 

Being trapped in a corn maze can seem unfair. We wondered why there were no directions or clues when we headed in.  Then after I while I remembered there were silos near where we entered and if we just LOOKED UP,  we should be able to see the direction home!

"Beholding and Becoming God's Mercy When Things Seem Unfair" is the theme of chapter 13.

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.  1 John 3:1

"Discontentment is the weed that grows up through the cracks of disbelief or wrong belief...The path between discontentment and contentment may still be familiar, but it can become less worn when we stay fixed on how merciful the Father is to welcome us home.  When we stop looking over our shoulder, peering into the future, tallying up and comparing notes from our left and right...and instead, behold the amazing grace of our father, we move ever closer to true contentment and grateful praise for what He has done and all that He's given...Following Jesus does not spare us from sleepless nights, unjust circumstances, or silent cries in our pillows.  Following Jesus promises us comfort in the midst of those earthly trials and hope that all wrongs will be made right in the end by God, who can be trusted."

That's a definite Hallelujah!

Check out Revelation 21:4-5

He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.  Then the one sitting on the throne said: I am making everything new.  Write down what I have said. My words are true and can be trusted.

Who do you know that needs to hear this truth?
