Faithfulness will be rewarded

TIMES MAY be hard. You may struggle to see the light.

But stand firm, I say. Stay faithful. Your faithfulness will be rewarded.

You may wonder, you may cry out loud, “I have faith in you Lord, but why are things so hard? Why is life so complicated?”

Be assured, dear child of God, the rewards of your faith may take time, but they will arrive.

This is God’s promise to you. So remain firm. Remain faithful.

His Kingdom will come. God’s order will be established in your mind, heart, and soul. The Lord will guide you along your journey.

And when turmoil and violence threaten you, you will feel his presence even more.

God’s hand will be upon you. The chaos will not confuse you. You won’t be run down, exhausted, and tired. You will not be sad.

Instead, you will rejoice. The Lord will be your strength and your energy.

You will walk upon the waters of your fears. You will walk in grace above the noise of this world.

The Spirit will rise in you. He will live in you. He will make you steady and strong.

The Spirit will give you his words to speak with authority. He will give you wisdom to measure your thoughts and actions.

And the Spirit will show you when your chest swells with arrogance and pride. He will reveal to you your vanity.

The Lord will correct you and humble you. He will bring you down to earth.

His Spirit will burn within you and compel you to trust more, love more, and give more. These are the finest fruits of your faith.  

Your faithfulness will be rewarded as you will come to know the Lord. You will understand the mind of God.

And, yes, you will fall down — again and again. But it won’t be for long.

You will be quickly lifted up in the tender arms of the Father.

You will be restored by grace as you have been saved by Christ’s grace yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Your fleeting wicked thoughts will be blown away by the wind.

Time will work in your favor as patience becomes your guide.

Nothing will tie you down as your spirit soars free in the mercy of the Lord.

The pettiness of this world will not ensnare you. Like a javelin you will fly forward on your purpose and mission.

You will feed on his words of eternal life, which begins here, today, now.

You will come to know Jesus Christ as your life, your faith, and your love. And this will bless you and all those around you.

Then you will see the face of Jesus everywhere, in every person who suffers and struggles.

And you will help him suffer less — as a good and faithful servant of the Lord.

. . . . . . .

Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations,^[beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high.”

Luke 24:45-49
