One of the greatest rude awakenings that I have ever encountered is that people will always surprise you (good or bad).<\/p>\n
Whether it is your family or friends, or even people around you that attend your church: there are going to be moments or situations that present themselves as hard or tough to endure. It is so easy when we are feeling an emotional affliction that we take for granted the patience of God to keep us. It is also easy to forget the power of the faith that lives within us. <\/p>\n
The revelation I leave with you today is to have your love and trust about life and things about life in God, first and more than anyone in your life. Having this closeness and devotion to God will give you the ability to make it through every single thing that could be done against you. Having a great love in your heart for God thereby creates a love that will face suffering in gladness and joy. Finally, having God close will keep you alert and aware of any possible events that the enemy may attempt to trap you up in. <\/p>\n
So in short, please remember and consider the power of a strong relationship with God. It will spare you from so much suffering that was never intended to happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
