When faced with unjust circumstances, especially when we are already exhausted, our natural reaction is to become frustrated and question God's love. Browse through the following verses that will give you divine inspiration.
"Not only so, but we[a] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." Romans 5:3-4
When we face unjust circumstances, especially when we are already exhausted, our natural reaction is to become frustrated and question God's love. But the Bible teaches us to be patient and believe in God's sovereign plan. Trials and tribulations should not take us by surprise. These trials often function as God's purifying fire, transforming us into the image of Christ and preparing us for his purposes.
Just as a farmer must persevere through difficult seasons to obtain a productive harvest, we are asked to believe that God is at work even when we cannot see the benefits of our labor. This perseverance requires a strong faith in God's love and faithfulness, believing that He is working all things for our benefit and His glory, even when it seems otherwise.
"Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2
We must constantly seek His strength and grace to persevere when we are tempted to give up. Fixing our eyes on Jesus, who bore the cross for our sake, gives us the strength to persevere. His example of enduring pain for a reason reminds us that following him leads to a life of fulfillment and meaning.
Perseverance is more than our own resolve; it is about relying on God's strength and grace in every moment, trusting in His timing and methods, and realizing that our present difficulties pale in comparison to the glory that awaits us.
So, instead of growing weary of doing good, let us continue to trust in God's power. Let us run the race set before us, confident that we will eventually taste His joy and fulfillment. I am convinced that our persistence will prove our devotion to Christ and that He will carry us forward.
"Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our ancestors by being unfaithful to one another?" Malachi 2:10
If we long to approach the way of the Lord, we must do so free from uncertainty and guilt.
In this way we can understand that the focus of our faith and our goodness can be 100% committed to the Lord and the Holy Spirit.
We will receive from God his kind and benevolent guidance so that we can achieve his divine plan that will prepare us to access the gates of Heaven.
Of course it is not an easy journey, but fortunately we had, we have and we will have people who will guide us on the path of Faith.
"Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon." Isaiah 55:7
In order to build an iron patience, with tints of love and a pinch of Faith, we must try to approach the Heavenly Father through prayer and Bible reading.
We will find in these practices, adequate spaces to reconnect with our inner being and with the fundamental pillars of the Holy Spirit.
Locking ourselves in the solitude of silence and distancing ourselves from the people who want to see us well, becomes a very common mistake today.
Let us learn to live in communion with the beings created by God, with their differences and virtues. Forgiving those individuals who offend us, offering our most supportive and loving side to those people who need a special caress.
