CAN PAIN CAMPAIGN
Why Love, Not Hurts, Is The Right Voice
Focal Theme,
GOD'S LOVE BUILDS, IN WEAKNESSES
Interestingly, the term "weakness" in the Greek isn't a word that means "lack of strength", but rather "want of strength" — wow, this is amazing. So at the time where you feel weak, remember you're never weak by nature as a child of God, instead, weakness is just a feeling. It is like hunger that signals the want and need for strength. This means hunger is simply a motivation for food and satisfaction, which in this case is strength. And Jesus Christ is the root of our strength.
One day a Pastor asked me a simple question, he said,
“How are you feeling today, Sir”
— I responded,
“Jesus loves me, so that's how I feel right now”, and he was amazed at my response.
My dear, feelings come and go, so do not dwell on the feeling of weakness, rather, let it motivate you to go for the Word of God, which in itself is the muscle (strength) of your spirit. Love is the answer, and God is love — so He indwelling you is proof that you have all of life's questions covered.
Are you seldom trafficked and afflicted with the fear of past mistakes, wondering if they'll probably incarnate to haunt you someday. If yes, then I have good news for you — have you ever heard someone say "I give you my word, I will not hurt you" — well, the Bible is God saying “I give you my word, I'll never leave you nor forsake you”, “I give you my word, I'll allow no one to do you wrong, I'll rebuke kings for your sake”.
My dear, our Heavenly Father has given you his word, a sure note of promise, so that incase your mind wavers for a moment, you can receive these words to adjust your balance in His grace. Jesus loves you, and that's why He left Himself with you by His word, as a love not of promise that He'll never put you to shame. Wow.
So often we wound ourselves just to feel something, and to fade the numbness of our soul, we shoot ourselves in the feet, and then beg God to help us walk on, yet even there, His mercy and grace is sufficient for us — Now say "I am strong, thank you Lord", yes you are, Say it even if you don't feel like it, Yes you're strong, yes you are.
Even if our heart (mind) condemns (smites) us, God is greater than our heart (that smite), and (isn't shocked by) but knows all things (1 John 3:20) — King David's heart (mind) smote him when he erred in cutting off the incumbent King's garment, thus Saul's, right at that moment : satan took opportunity to judge and condemn (smite) him psychologically with guilt, but as a man after God's own heart, love kept him going, regardless — So can you : who might be hurting right now from piercing thoughts of guilt, shame and blame.
Love is reaching out to you right now, say yes to Jesus and His love will embrace you very suddenly like a blanket of ice in a warm desert, and like a wingless bird kissed by the reckless love of the ocean. Love is real because God is love. Truly — where words fail to sound meaningful in building the human soul, the heart listens to love for strength, because love builds, and it'll build anybody through whichever debris of inner confusion they're faced with in the dark, like a tender plant out of a dry ground they'll emerge. Love is the answer, so be fully filled with it because it's the ful-filment of life itself. True love stays, even when it's presence is denied. Let us love one another to the very end (John 13:1), unconditionally.
If you're going through so much mentally, you need to dwell on the word, not the issues and people. You'll be fine this way. Truly — forgiveness in Greek is a non-emotional word that means to let go, a decision and not a feeling. If that is what is holding you back, I encourage you to let go mechanically, let go for your own sake.
If your mind ever tells you, “for what you did, shame on you!"
Chest out, don't even turn a bit in worry, keep moving and respond carelessly with full confidence in the Lord's, and say, "well, grace on me!". And laugh to the glory of God. Glorayy! Wow!
Are you worried if the Lord might reject you and your labour of love — well, the scriptures guide out thoughts that we're God's primary object of love, and as such, He takes no interest and delight in making life uncomfortable for us. He's come to make us better, not worse. One day, after all is said and done, you'll hear his solemn whisper of confidence in your heart “Well done”. Wow, what a day that will be. Hallelujah!
"Well done" in Matthew 25:21 is an Adverb accentuating a plausible note from our Lord and Master Jesus, a noteworthy phrase you can rehearse everyday awaiting that faithful day. Now, the phrase in the Greek actually means “having acted well or role well played : thou good and faithful servant”, which gives us a picture of actors following a script (script-ure) to portray a character for effective production and work. Likewise, what Jesus did is what is done (acted out) through us when we believe. We haven't been called to act otherwise, we've not been called to figure things out. We're here to follow the Way, Christ Jesus, the Script-ure.
He will not reward you for what He hasn't already done, nor will He honor you for what He did not allow Himself do in His lifetime. Actually, in Matthew 25 where He said to the foolish virgins, “I do not know you”, the Greek further renders it “I did not allow you, nor do I recognise your works”. He's coming to find faith (the works He did, which you have "done well" to believe) in the earth. According to 2Peter 1:19, we "do well" by taking heed to His Word, nothing more. And this right here is the genesis of Christianity. Selah!
Remember, the pain of the past cannot campaign for joy. So if you're asking yourself "can my pain and regrets campaign" for sympathy and company, perhaps for a moment because misery loves company : but for how long, soon enough you'd be left all alone. So receive the love of God into your heart and flourish with that feeling of weakness as the motivation for strength, thus, God's love received in His Word. You're strong, declare this everyday and you'd be fine.
Praise the Lord.
Regards,
