1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

There are many unpalatable and unfavorable events and moments of our lives that does not motivate us to thank God for, yet He wants us to give thanks even in those situations.

God doesn’t want our thanksgiving tied to only the good seasons. His desire is for His children to be grateful in both good and bad seasons because He works all things out for the good of His people.

Romans 8:28 NIV

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

God uses the bad seasons and down moments of our lives to mold us into what He wants us to be, and becoming the best version of ourselves. He uses all things for our good.

All we need to do His trust Him. That’s hard to do in a very precarious situations, but just try! This is the requirement– to try and trust Him and He will work things out for our good.

Heb 5:8 EasyEnglish Jesus is God’s Son. But he still learned what it is like to obey God. He learned because he had trouble and pain.

Jesus, the savior, had to learn and taste suffering, pain, deprivation and human frailty to become a perfect example for us, and still a savior without sin.
This way, He can advocate and plead on our behalf before the Father because He experienced all of it and He is perfectly qualified to stand before the Father and “explain” our cases before the one who created life.

Heb 5:9 EasyEnglish And as a result, Jesus is the only person who can save us. He saves us for all time from the results of what we do wrong. He saves all those people who obey him.

All of us will leave this world one day.

It’s how we live our lives while on earth that matters.

Galatians 6:1 NLT
Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.

We live in a world full of hatred, resentment and wickedness, but Christians shouldn’t find it more enduring than it already is.

We are supposed to help one another, lift the falling brothers up, support the needy, pray for the sinful sister, cushion the broken hearted with words of encouragement, assist by any means possible, share with others, weep with those who weep, laugh and rejoice with those who rejoice, and never forget that this is the exact thought of Jesus that we should be available for one another without casting anyone down.

Whatever Jesus would do is what we should emulate.
Jesus showed great amount of love, compassion and empathy to the woman at the well and to the adulterous woman.

Even the man who climbed the tree to experience Jesus was never disappointed as Jesus, in His compassion and more than human feelings, visited the man’s home and introduced salvation to Zacchaeus.

Lift others up, by any means, don’t pull anyone down. This is the Spirit of Jesus, the Spirit of truth and the Spirit of divine Love from the Father’s heart.

Thank you Lord!
Thank you Lord God almighty, and all I can say is thank you.
That’s why I am here to just say thank you Lord.

There’s nothing to fear because the Lord is with us.
He loves us, and perfect love eliminate fear.

Isa 41:10 So do not be afraid, because I am with you. Do not be sad, because I am your God. I will make you strong and I will help you. Really, I will hold you with my right hand. It is strong and it wins wars.”

We are not alone; God is with us

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

The help of God will save from troubles and deliver from all calamities.

God will rescue from distress and life’s pressures.

When we call, He will hear and save us from all our fears.

His mighty hands will hold us close to Him and we will not be snatched away by the winds of the wicked.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 NIV
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

And the Lord will protect us from the evil one.

For surely, His goodness and mercies will follow us, be with us, and keep us from now and ever, amen.

Lord, your Spirit lives inside of me!
I’m a child of God!

1 Corinthians 3:16 AMP

[16] Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]?

Thank you Jesus!

 

Philippians 2:3 NLT
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.

If only Christians would live a life encompassed with all these characters listed in this bible verse, we would have a peaceful church community and God’s work and purpose would thrive.

Let’s do well to live a Bible life.
