Up Against It

29th August 2018 aeboyle 2018, August, Living Life Recovery Comments Off on Up Against It

John 16:33 “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows; but cheer up, for I have overcome the world.”

When we turn from our past of disillusionment and attempt to live a new lifestyle, it is not going to be easy. Let’s not kid ourselves. Self-confidence will soon be shattered. The world will not pat us on the back for trying to change our lives. We will run into all types of trials and sorrows. Trials that will distress us, sorrows that will have us thinking “What’s the point?”  We may be tempted to ‘Throw in the towel’  to ‘Give up before we get going.’  

Jesus summons us to trustingly ‘Keep throwing ourselves upon Himself’ because He has “Overcome the world” and cheerfully invites our participation in the victory He has attained.

This is how much God loved the world

John 3:16-18 “This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.”

What a Wonderful God We Have

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 What a wonderful God we have—he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strengthens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us.

1 John 1:9 God is faithful and fair. If we admit that we have sinned, he will forgive us our sins. He will forgive every wrong thing we have done. He will make us pure.

 Through our confession God forgives us. Then, through Jesus, He provides a way for us to enter His presence and share in community with others.

Most of my life growing up I got involved with the wrong people and did the wrong things for one reason. I wanted to belong.

Coming into recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous didn’t change that for me. I still felt different.

It wasn’t till I got into a relationship with Jesus and started doing what He guided me to do. Going to the places, He prompted me to go I felt I was where I belonged.

  • Do you feel lost?
  • What do you need to do to belong?

 

 Prayer: Lord show me the place You want me to be and help me belong.
