When the trials of life are present, the challenge is believeing, trusting, and obeying throughout the discipline.    For indeed, trials are discipline, and chastisement from our LORD!

When He extends trials to us, He is indeed loving us!   Though it does not seem so at the time, it strengthens us into a deeper ‘in-love’ for our LORD!    The challenge can be anything.   Anything from a ache of lonliness, to the inclusion of an illness inflicted, to being unemployed, and afraid!

The test of faith that our LORD extends to His Beloved, is His design.   He determines the ‘weight’ of the test.    Faith is a gift!   It is arrived at, and achieved over time imposed struggles!     The Love Of Jesus Christ is so powerful that the faithful will die on behalf of Him!    He is Real!   His spirit rises to the occassion, and does not rest until it returns to Him as He desires.    This is God manifest within the Son Jesus Christ within the world.

The world does not work on the will of God!   If it did, peace would reign throughout the world.    As it is Jesus Christ was crucified trying to prove the point!   The world is of ‘free-will’ and not the will of God.     That being the downfall of mankind without the acceptance of Jesus Christ into the heart of each and every soul existing.

He loves so deeply that to experience the the magnificense of who HE is, must realized through trial, testing, and faith.    For the LORD is so ‘over the top,’ the human mind can not comprehend a love so perfect, that one would die for another.    For that is absolutely what happened.    Though we are only human, it mattered to the Heavenly Father, and because it matters to the Father, it matters to the Son!   Have you ever known such love?   Have you ever willed your Son to die on behalf of another?    Simply put, this is ‘pure love’!   Love undefiled!    Yet, it is refused!   The Savior of the world, is experiencing rejection still, after all His sacrifices, and denials, He is aching to love as the Father desires.   However, His love real and absolute, refused, does not redeem the soul, who refuses to admit there is sin, and  that He covers that sin with His blood.

Coming to Christ is beginning the journey home.    For Jesus takes us there.    He stretches out His Hand, and leads us home.   He tells us it will not be easy!  So it is with deep love, faith, and coviction as the journey allows, that we face our trials gallantly on behalf  of Our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ.

Book of Luke: Chapter 8 verses 48-55

48)Jesus said to her, “Daughter, it is your faith that has cured you.   Now go in peace.”   49)He was still speaking when a man came from the ruler’s house with the announcement, “Your daughter is dead; do not bother the Teacher further.”   50)Jesus heard this, and his response was: “Fear is useless what is needed is trust and her life will be spared.”   51)Once He arrived at the house, he permitted no one to enter with him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s parents.   52)While everyone wept and lamented her, he said, “Stop crying for she is not dead but asleep.”   53)They laughed at him, being certain she was dead.   54) He took her by the hand and spoke these words: “Get up, child. ”   55) The breath of life returned to her and she got up immediately; whereupon he told them to give her something to eat.
