Rejoice Always
Leave a reply
My child, rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. When you don’t know what else to do, do this. This brings Me great pleasure and glory when you are joyful and thankful in the midst of your trial.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Philippians 4: 4-7
Praise Me In The Trials
My child, in the midst of trials, I am here. Look for My blessings in the challenges. You will find Me if you search for Me with your whole heart. I can make something beautiful out what seems like the worst of circumstances. Look for Me and praise Me in the trials.
Jeremiah 29:11
I delight in you
My child, give generously, love lavishly, and have a thankful heart. I delight in you and I desire that you delight in Me. Open your heart to all that I have for you. Even the hard things can produce much fruit. Never despise your trials. They are there for your growth and to draw you closer to Me. Depend on Me for all things. I delight in you.
Obstacles & Trials
My child, I will give you the ability to accomplish what I have called you to do. Trust Me and know that I go before you to clear your path. The obstacles I do leave are only for your growth. Do not fear them or be embittered against them. Learn to grow from every trial. Rejoice and know that after you have come through you will receive the crown of life which I promise to all who love Me.
James: 1:12
Suffering: God’s Tool
Trials are common to all believers. And they are not the result of any lack of interest or caring on God’s part. Just the opposite, actually: He allows suffering because He deeply cares about us. His glorious purpose for our lives dictates that He press us toward His long-term goal, instead of providing counterproductive short-term solutions. This is no doubt why God’s promise that we are “children of God…heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ” is made along with this qualifying statement: “if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”(Romans 8:16-17)
Will I continue to trust God in my circumstances? Or will I cut and run by giving in to my natural inclination to do things my own way—in the process showing God that I really do not trust Him. God allows suffering not that He might discover what we harbor in our heart. He already knows what’s there. Rather, God wants us to recognize what is concealed within, and suffering is His tool for laying it all out on the table.

Tests and Trials
My child, living by faith is not the easy life. Living by faith includes tests and trials. It requires you to trust, let go of control and believe. Not living by faith includes tests and trials too. But when you live by faith you experience My peace in the midst of your trials. You have a knowing, deep down that I am in control and I will work all things together for good. Fear cannot reside where faith is. To live in fear is just as much of a choice as to live in faith, but you have two radically different outcomes. Anxiety and fear or peace and joy. Your choice.
