I HAVE SEVERAL PAULINE-LIKE THORNS
And before I became a Christ Follower I railed against them.
Today from a branch higher on the tree of life I see the strength and resolve the thorns provided me that made it possible to finally come to Christ.
Now, I hold fast to my faith and peace through the experiences in my life. Since turning my life over to Christ, and asking for direction on how to be a useful clay pot, I have peace, joy, and purpose in a chaotic world
Christ Followers are to be in this world but not of this world, that can only be accomplished in Christ. Finally, total safety is found in Christ, knowing that the world can only attempt to do me harm, it can only kill me once. I am secure and safe in my life in Christ, and my eternal life is sealed, no fear can overtake me.
Where’s the lesson?
. Learn to say to the trials and the thorns: what is the lesson in this, what is the message. God please guide me through this to where you need me to be. Holy Spirit is always with true Christ Followers.
