WHEN DOWN AND OUT

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalm 36:18

We all have gone through bad things in our lives. We have all gone through sorrow, sadness or some sort of anxiety that wants to take us down. Jesus never promised a life here on earth without trouble. He walked through troubles but always stayed the course. You and I are no different. By building up faith in our Lord Jesus we know that no matter the trouble that stands in our way we have a Savior that supports us. He gave us the Holy Spirit to help us with guidance and peace of mind. The problem we face is that when troubles do stand before us, we begin to focus on those problems and begin to try figure out how we will overcome them. When we put our trust in Jesus our problems become secondary in our lives. We know that our Savior will take care of us and help us through. Our focus stays where it is meant to be, on Him! When we are brokenhearted our Lord mends our hearts. He helps us to remember that life on this earth is only a passing moment in time and that everlasting life with Him is our goal. Our sadness will be overtaken with joy when we realize that we too, are just passing through on our journey home. We are encouraged to continue to build up our faith each. The stronger our faith the larger the troubles we will defeat. Our Lord has not left us defenseless but instead armed us with all the tools we need to be successful and victorious in this life. He truly loves us more than we may ever understand! JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
