Life with Jesus is not always going to be easy – in fact we are in constant battle with our feelings and the evil one who will try and take us out of our Father’s hand, so life will have trials.
The joy is, our future is glorious. It is glorious not because we become perfect, but because we stand with Jesus and in Jesus through it all! (Romans 5:1-3)
We can’t change what happens around us, but we can stand to the end. (2 Corinthians 1:18-24)
‘A thousand may fall at our side, ten thousand at our right hand,…’ (Psalm 91:7), but we will stand to the end. To the end of our life or to the day Jesus returns, whichever comes first.
We don’t always/often do things perfectly, but we stand in Jesus. (2 Thessalonians 2:15)
When we’ve done everything we can do, and it all fails - we stand.
This is what our heavenly Father sees - not our failures, but our endurance in Jesus!
This is how I understand my God.
