HAVING FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
In everything always give thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ who have saved us from eternity with Him. Although we were enemies with God, Jesus did not think twice to come and die for us although we deserved death. Jesus left His throne for us and there is absolutely no greater love than His.
In Everything Always Give Thanks
In everything always give thanks to the Lord. We must give thanks to the Lord in everything that is happening to us, even when we do not understand the process.
God who sits above the Earth, who has created us all. Thank you for taking the time out to visit my website and reading my blogs.
This is a website dedicated to the road that is travelled by a follower of Christ and the challenges that we face on a day to day basis living in this world where if you are not following the crowd, you are seen as being abnormal.
This page started out with just a few blogs and with the help of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, has grown to include my handmade products as well as podcast. All points back to the Lord Jesus Christ and the love He has for us.
Matthew 5: 14-16
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Let us come together as brothers and sisters in Christ and encourage each other in their walk with Christ.
As a child of God, I was thinking how I can in some small way, play my part in getting the word out about who Jesus is and the plans that He has for you and I.
People often say well if God really existed then why doesn’t He stop all this killing and war that is taking place on the Earth. The simple and honest truth is free will.
As His children, our Heavenly Father does not want mindless robots who are forced to love Him. Instead, He wants an intimate and loving relationship from all of us.
Let us trace back to the beginning of creation when Eve was tempted by the snake in the garden of Eden and she ate the fruit. Although the Lord knew what would happen, due to free will, He had to allow the rebellion against what He told them to take place (Genesis 3).
Why Must We Give Thanks In Everything
The question is, why not give thanks to God in everything. Have you ever looked back on your life and say to yourself “but God”. That’s it, if it was not for the Lord, where would we be.
Just imagine, if Jesus Christ did not come down to earth and died on the cross for you and I, where exactly would we be. Now due to the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary, we can come to Him and have a loving and intimate relationship with Him. Can you imagine that, the Creator of the universe, the Creator of you and I want to have a loving and intimate relationship with us His creation. Thanks to God for His love towards us His creation.
You may find it difficult by saying to yourself, but I have nothing? Stop telling yourself that, you have life and most importantly, you have Jesus. With Him by yourself, you have all that you need. If that is not enough then I don’t know what else it.
It does not matter what you do not have, in everything always give thanks because this is the will of God. By not giving thanks to God for even the smallest things you have, you are basically saying that He has never done anything for you. That in itself is not being truthful.
When wake up in the morning, give thanks to God because His mercy and grace has kept you during the night. It is not the alarm clock that woke you, it is the Lord Himself: In everything always give thanks.
