The other day, I came across this writing that I wrote some time ago. I can not remember if I shared it on the blog before, but even if the words are familiar, I hope it encourages you to continue to “Trust the Love of Jesus.”

Life is full of ups and downs. In the ups of life, it is easier to believe that Jesus loves us. But what about the down times?

Believing Jesus loves you can be more of a struggle when life does not go as expected. We often experience disappointments that bring us to tears, tragedies that leave us in shock, and emotional hurts that leave us breathless. It is during these times that we have to press in to believe in and receive the love of Jesus. His love for us is real and unconditional. He loves us through our failures, disappointments and hurts.

Understanding the love of Jesus is a lifelong process. Although our minds have a knowledge of His love, our hearts have to learn to understand it day by day, as we go through the various challenges and seasons of life.

So during the difficult moments of life, cry out to our Lord. Remember His past faithfulness and trust Him to provide your needs today and tomorrow.

Lamentations 3:22-23 CEB, “Certainly the faithful love of the Lord hasn’t ended; certainly God’s compassion isn’t through! They are renewed every morning. Great is your faithfulness.”

1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”

The past couple of weeks were pretty busy for me because it is our busy season at work, but it was a blessing to be encouraged by many of the posts I read. So, I’m sharing a few. I believe they will encourage you too. Have a wonderful week and enjoy reading these posts! 🤗

Below are a few lines from the familiar hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”…

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

I have to remind myself often to carry everything to God in prayer. God loves to spend time talking to us, not only about the difficulties of life but also the pleasures of life. He enjoys hearing our thanksgiving, for the many blessings He has given to us. He enjoys hearing about the things that have made us happy as well as the things that have made us sad. He not only wants to cry with us, but He also wants to laugh with us.

God is always willing to work on our behalf; however, we must remember to invite Him into our lives and spend time fellowshipping with Him in prayer.

Don’t hesitate to make your requests known to God, no matter how big or small. He promises to give us His peace in exchange for our worries. So push pass the temptation to be self sufficient and let Him carry your burdens. Push pass discontentment and choose to be thankful. Push pass pride and embarrassment and share your deepest needs with Him, today.

Philippians 4:6-7, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
