We can look back at our past spiritual position and experiences in our day to day life and see what was once, seemingly lifeless and without purpose. Through prayer and the power of God you had a season of change and new hope and an abundant life! Like a flower garden it must be maintained daily. Life killing weeds need to be removed, while water and fertilizer for growth and life, are to be added daily.
You may be reading this and living a troubled life, seemingly without hope. Sadness even depression, the worries of this world are overwhelming. We are all there for a time. That's natural, but we are not to park there. You can live on topside, you have hope for even eternity. That is supernatural. Sin entered the world but God desires you to believe and receive what He has for you. His new life! We do not work for salvation but it takes (as in our earthly relationships) a minute by minute effort to maintain and enjoy that relationship of love.
*Read the letter to the Philippians
*Prayer that includes; worship, asking, interceding, thankfulness.
*A Bible believing counselor
*A good book (with Christian values)
We accept and trust, not in ourselves, but in what Christ did on the cross, not only in what He did, but who He is. The Bible says to draw near to Him and He'll draw near to you. Asking forgiveness, know you have that forgiveness of sin and power of God, to live the life He desires. You can have great joy and peace, (though there will be storms), living right where God has placed you. Then we are to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those that rejoice. Let's be the flower, God and others can be blessed by.
John 10: 7-18. Matthew 6: 25-34
