Be grateful in All Things

Yesterday was a difficult day for me. Not the whole day. But enough to cause me a lot of discomfort.

I remember reading that "discomfort is the price of admission for a meaningful life." So when I read this morning's message from Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young, during my morning meditation I was moved by the timeliness of it. So I thought it might be helpful to some of my readers to see what I saw. Here is the message:

INSPIRATION - Jesus Calling

by Sarah Young

Learn to appreciate difficult days. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with Me, gain confidence from your knowledge that together we can handle anything. This knowledge is comprised of three parts: your relationship with Me, promises in the Bible and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times.

Look back on your life, and see how I have helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, "Yes, but that was then, and this is now," remember who I AM! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, I remain the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In My Presence you live and move and have your being.

Isaiah 41:10
fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Psalm 102:27
but you are the same, and your years have no end.

Acts 17:28
for ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we are indeed his offspring.’

May we all be happy and free from suffering. May you have a blessed day. In Jesus' name, Amen.
