About life being difficult…

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (NIV)

Life is not easy. For some, life is grueling and grinding. All of us will be devastated by the evil one as we taste the end of our life. Most certainly, life is difficult. However, all of us can do great things for Christ with the junk of our life. God has given all of us a heart, mind, and soul capable of receiving His healing love. All of us can reach up to God for power and strength. All of us can reach up to God for ideas and inspiration to pursue victory. All of us have a spiritual eye to see Christ waiting for us in paradise. In the difficulty of every life rests the seed of living a glory-filled life. Our outward circumstances may change very little, leaving us with so much difficulty we want to give up. However, our inward circumstances are the province of God. Our inward circumstances can make greatness from devastation. Our inward circumstances can celebrate victory as we sort through the junk of our outward life. God sees who and what you are on the inside. God sees your inner circumstances and in your inner life God wants total victory from you. Christ came to give you total victory for eternity. In Him, all of us have the victory.
