All the things that is going in this world, the many disappearances, the tragic events on the news, the buildings exploding, the planes being missing and many other situations that we have no answers to... My heart is soo heavy for the families and individuals affected or even related to these situations.
I was looking through some photos of the tragic news, the families and even the individuals that were influenced. Actually looking in their eyes and trying to empathize with them. I questioned if a counselor was there to actually sit down with them and talk them through their suicidal ideation or even understand their pain will they be better? I know God has placed His Holy Spirit within us to decipher and to be comforted but what was lacking in these individuals?
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”-John 16:13
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.-John 14:26
My heart is sooooo heavy for these individuals- sitting here I was reminded about these verse above and especially this verse.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.-1 John 4:4
So whatever trails problems and even internal/external battles be encouraged that He that is IN you is greater than this world. The worldly things can be an exam, work situations, relationship situations, religious situation and etc. Whatever the world throws at you be encouraged and certain that He lives IN you and He will be able to handle anything and everything that may come your way. BUT we have to trust that His spirit will guide us and TRUST that He will carry us through it because he has already overcome this world. The Lord is the strong tower that regardless of what tries to shake us or destroy us ---He will NEVER abandon us. If you are separated from Him remember He came down to restore us and forgive us not to guilt us into death but to give us eternal life.
Be a blessing for His Kingdom and Be Blessed,
Liz
