Daily Devotional. But thou hast fully known my (Apostle Paul) doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, AND ALL THAT WILL LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST JESUS SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION. 2 Timothy 3:10-12. Christ is our Perfect Example of “available” sufferings for Christ. (No, no man will ever suffer as Christ suffered). But Paul is a real, hands on example of what lies ahead of all True Believers. Some will suffer more, some will suffer less, but all will suffer for Christ to some degree. No need to try to run from it, Christ’s Suffering WILL FIND YOU in the exact “amount” Christ Himself has just for you. And here’s the GOoD News, He’ll be Walking right beside you every step of the way. He’s “been there, done that and got the T-shirt” and Knows exactly how to Comfort you in your trials and tribulations. Even Rejoice DURING your afflictions, and don’t worry about those sinners who look like they’re getting away with murder with no consequences, their day is coming. Believers, don’t look around, Look Up AND REJOICE, Christ IS your Reward right here and now, AND for all of Eternity. The CHRISTLIKE Life is the toughest Life you’ll ever Live, AND THE BEST LIFE YOU’LL HAVE FOR ALL OF ETERNITY. That’s why we have “Church”, to Encourage each other, lift each other up in Prayer, and be there to help whenever we can. The Lord has a “Life Path” already mapped out for you as you Follow Him in all that He has for you to say and do. Ask the Holy Spirit to Guide, Guard and Direct your steps all along The Way and you can Walk into the Fullness of CHRISTLIKENESS every step of the Way, straight into Heaven where you’ll meet up with all those you’ve been praying for, ministering to and showing/sharing Christ with on Planet Earth. That’s the Prayer we have for all our lost friends. Keep Praying for them to soon, Be Blessed.
