Just a Daisy in the Meadow

This morning God convicted me of my complaining . . . Turning my life over again to live for the will of God . . .

“Therefore, since Christ SUFFERED IN HIS BODY, arm YOURSELVES also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, BUT RATHER FOR THE WILL OF GOD. ” I Peter 4:1&

And again . . . I’ve been thinking and complaining in my heart and voicing some of my thoughts about all the pains we moms have to suffer and wondering why out loud and one of my children piped up, “Mom, you know, the curse” . . . But still I was questioning God, why does life have to be this hard . . . This morning God gave me these verses also and in case you might like to meditate on them too, here they are . . .

If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking t he very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with THE STRENGTH GOD PROVIDES, SO THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD MAY BE PRAISED THROUGH JESUS CHRIST . . . so then THOSE WHO SUFFER ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL (thinking of child birth here ) SHOULD COMMIT THEMSELVES TO THEIR FAITHFUL CREATOR AND CONTINUE TO DO GOOD.” . . .

and further down . . .

Cast all your anxiety on Him because HE CARES FOR YOU . . . And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, will HIMSELF RESTORE YOU AND MAKE YOU STRONG, FIRM AND STEADFAST. To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen. I Peter 5 :10&11
