John 16:33
"I told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have trouble, but be brave for I have overcome the world."
-John 16:33
Okay so this happens to be my favorite verse... but that is not the only reason why I decided to make it my first post. 3 main things pop out!
Numero uno:
The only place you find total and complete peace on this tough earth is through your relationship with Christ that allows you to have a relatioship with THE BIG MAN aka God.
Numero dos:
God knows how tough the world can be... I mean he did send his son right down into the center of mayhem. Jesus was tested and tempted just like we are everyday the difference is he is perfect because he has God living in him. This shows us that as long as we strive to be perfect under Gods laws and he is living in us through his spirit then we can have that peace.
Numero tres:
Yeah this world is tough who didn't know? God sure does but he gives us something thst is also hard to find in earthly things... hope. He overcame the world by living in all the testing situations but still being perfect and yes dieing but the most important part raising again. He has truely conquered this world and while doing that simple task(sarcastic) overcame death.
God living in you is the only outlet to finding peace, happiness, love, joy, and hope that might fade but will never disappear. By that I mean once you have truely found these things through Christ you don't ever forget. The memory of what it feels like never leaves you. When you go through hard times and are depressed wondering what life is all about you suddenly find yourself realizing that you dont have to live like that because God wants to give you peace and wants to fill you. You find yourself back knocking on his door. When you knock/yearn for God HE WILL ANSWER. You might have heard this but it will never sink in until you have experienced it. Honestly if you pray for God to reveal himself to you, to decifer if he is real, to bring you closer, to.... do anything God will hear your prayer and will answer. Whether yes no or not right now God will lead you on your path to the place that you are suppose to be. Believing in that is stepping out on a branch called faith.
I challenge you and myslef to pray for a yearning desire in our hearts that cause us to be so full of Gods presence that we cant help but to be peaceful and happy knowing that in the end everyhting is going to be okay. The first step is just trying to have a relatioship by setting a time for just you and God to hangout and read the word. He will help you through to the end. What's the harm with simply trying... the outcome will be gaining something that can't be contained by a box, that can't be destroyed by death or hardships... everlasting life with the ONE and only God that loves you more than you can imagine.
Food. For. Thought.
