Why is God so good to us?
I was reading 1 Peter 1 in my bible today... and it encouraged me so
much. I've read it so many times before and its always encouraging, but
for where I am right now in my life... it was definately a "breath of
fresh air"
1 Peter 1:3-9: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls."
Life is tuff... atleast at times... thats for sure. But atleast I know i'm not going through all these tuff times for nothing. So many people choose to try to find their happiness with things on earth, when its really only TRUELY found in Heaven and through Christ. Even if I work my butt of to have everything I want on earth, its going to be left to someone when I die and I can't take it with me. The only thing I CAN take with me, is the faith i've had on earth... and once I die, it wont be faith anymore... I'LL GET TO SEE MY LORD AND SAVIOR!
