Life-Changing Perseverance …

James 1:2-3 ~ Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.?

Abba Father good morning ~ Living everyday life is expressing what actively lives deeply within our heart, our mind, our soul. Sometimes life becomes messy, unsettling, frustrating for many reasons. Some caused intentionally by our behavior and others unintentionally just because of life’s brokenness. We must be tuned-in to hearing The Lord Our God calling our name to act upon a message entrusted to our sinfully imperfect life. Trials in life are not easy. They become even harder when our faith is the foundation of those attacks. How we respond at these moments will make a positive or negative difference in our life and lives of all effected. Remember, we do have a choice. We can treat people kindly who have mistreated our life unjustly. Whether it was inflicted intentionally or unintentionally. At these moments we’ve been entrusted to reach-out, extend-generosity, share-openly from within our heart the love of Christ Jesus Our Lord. We can be patient, listen intentionally, receive life-changing wisdom as The Lord Our God actively provides strength to forgive. As we encounter trials look for intimate growth within our struggle. Living the fruits of the Spirit will be difficult as we wait patiently on The Lord Our God. Our Lord Christ Jesus showed the ultimate way to respond to unjustified behaviors with agape love. Being non-combative and reaching out with compassion while extending life-changing forgiveness. These moments in the life of Christ Jesus showed tremendous-restraint, extreme-courage, bold-endurance, fearless-perseverance, and tremendous-faith within Our Living God. This Amazing God is actively breathing agape love into all of life, our life. Always providing Christ Jesus with the necessary perseverance within every moment. This same Living God overshadowing Our Lord Christ Jesus during mocking’s, persecutions, and crucifixion; is within our life within this very moment. There is absolutely nothing we can do that will prevent The Lord Our God from loving our imperfect life. This Compassionate Living God is waiting patiently for our life to reach out in pray as we encounter everyday struggles, trials, temptations, uncertainties of life. Hardships appearing to be overpowering, restricting, confining are opportunities for the ways of this world to actively witness our inner-core character as we react under real life pressure. Moments where we need to breathe deeply, reflect-back, remember, and intimately trust as we wait patiently on the undeniable faithfulness of Our Living God. Rough times will come our way. Storms we will encounter. Trials will become extremely real. Our Lord Christ Jesus willingly engaged and courageously endured this terrible unjustified trial for a reason; this extremely painful crucifixion was for our life to have a way to live cleansed, redeemed, restored, forgiven. Our Living God breathed anointed protective blessings upon Our Lord Christ Jesus within the powerful resurrection breathing everlasting life in heaven. We can have this same blessing of anointment within our life within this very moment. We can have the comfort of never living left alone. How is it possible to live in hard times and still have tremendous peace? The living bible teaches about having living faith that believes in what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Willingly opening our heart, our mind, our soul believing, accepting, trusting, following within The Lord Our God: God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. We will never be without living hope. Our life will have life-changing hope within agape love, sacrificial forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven. The ways of this world will absolutely challenge our everyday faith. Reading the bible, praying continuously, fellowshipping openly, attending church regularly will bring comfort in the trials and battering storms of life. Trusting within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit will strengthen our inner-core of faith in ways this world can never comprehend. We will live intimately stronger breathing boldness, courageousness, fearlessness. The fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control will intimately grow deep within our heart, our mind, our soul. We will learn to treat others respectfully even when we are treated unjustly, unfairly, disrespectfully. This is living life at its very best breathing living faith in the battering storms of life’s brokenness. Remember, we do have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. It’s actively embedded within our heart, our mind, our soul; Our very inner-core of thriving everlasting life.?

Father ~ Thank you for always loving, repeatedly forgiving, intimately believing in me. Continuously providing living hope with life-changing encouragement to engage hardships, struggles, trials, temptations, uncertainties of this life. Breathe anointed protective blessings into my inner-core of thriving life; open my heart, my mind, my soul to live boldness, courageousness, fearlessness in extending fruit of the Spirit as trials and storms of life engage my life. I will need help to live a worthy life breathing all praise, all honor, all glory to you Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
