DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  2 Corinthians 1:3-5

(3)  Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
(4)  Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
(5)  For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

PEACE, PEACE BE STILL!

Brethren, let us give glory to our Father through his Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; for his forgiveness and compassion that never fails;  our Father deserves praises and adorations even in difficult times:  for he is our comforter through the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, anoints and strengthen our hearts with his peace to know that he is the Almighty Father, who knows our state of minds, feel our sorrows, agonies and tears and will help us to overcome our trouble waters;  today, if we are in negative situations; such as mourning for love ones, loss of employments, poor healths and ailments, bankruptcies, separations and divorces, loneliness and homeless;  regardless of what seems to be prevailing against our souls;  all is not lost, there is hope in our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; let us have greater faith, pray fervently, trust and believe in him, be still and know that he is the "I AM, that I AM"; there is hope in him;  for, it is written in book of Revelation 21:4: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:  for the former things are passed away.";  Apostle Paul said, in his letter to the Romans 8:18;  "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.":  therefore, our sufferings are not in vain, but may be tools for completion of purposes of our Father, that his glories may be seem through us when moments of sufferings are over;  therefore, if in sufferings, let us be encouraged to know that Jesus Christ is aware and working to bring all things together for good, for those who trust and believe in him, and are called according to his purposes, Jesus conquered the world and grant victory; we are victorious today and forevermore.

When we are in sufferings, the Holy Spirit comforts and consoles our hearts, envelopes us with his love, strengthen our souls to be instruments of comforts to others who may be in similar situations; therefore, there are lessons and experiences in every situation;  believers or unbelievers, we are in classrooms of our lives; taking courses of life everyday, learning to accelerate into higher levels of our destinations in life;  if we refuse to discern and fully learn our lessons, and as a result we fail to pass testings, we cannot graduate into next levels of destines; but will have to retake those testings over and over again until we become successful;  therefore, no matter what is going on our lives, let us look at the whole picture, ask ourselves; what is it that our Father is trying to accomplish through us?, pray for strength to endure through the sufferings, allow the hand of our Father upon our lives to complete his works successfully within our souls;  regardless of how painful situations may be, let us not waver in faith, rebuke his hands away from finishing his purposes;  but pray without ceasing, trust and believe in him; regardless of what happened before we became downcasted in sufferings, it does not matter;  what matters are the positive end results of our sufferings, earthly blessings and eternal rewards;  therefore, let us press on toward the mark for the prize of the high callings of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14);  he will not forsake people who call upon his name in troubles, but will deliver them, change negative situations into positiveness that they may be fully furnished for his glorification on planet earth and hereafter in life everlasting.

Believers suffer so they may experience some of the sufferings of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; it is a package for believers, that they might learn to know him entirely, who he is, what he stood for in the faith of his righteousness; his sufferings, death, power of his resurrection and emulate him; have the same love, mindset to follow and serve him diligently, suffer for righteousness sake until death, that they may receive crowns of glories, be joint heirs with him in eternal kingdom;  therefore, Jesus is in still in control of our lives; if we are in difficult situations currently;  let us calm down, be still and activate peace from our innermost spirits, be strengthen with faith, in his righteousness to know that we are not alone in this world, Jesus Christ is with us forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, let us mourn with those who are mourning; likewise, rejoice with those who are rejoicing; be our brothers keepers, love one another with the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, be tender hearted towards one another, live peaceably with all men;  for without love it is impossible to please our Father, he is love himself;  therefore, let love reign supreme in the hearts of one another forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
