We have not stopped praying for you since the first day we heard about you. In fact, we always pray that God will show you everything he wants you to do and that you may have all the wisdom and understanding that his Spirit gives. Then you will live a life that honors the Lord, and you will always please him by doing good deeds. You will come to know God even better. His glorious power will make you patient and strong enough to endure anything, and you will be truly happy.
Colossians 1: 9 - 11
The Spirit of God gives wisdom and understanding to those who follow Jesus. And He makes them patient and strong enough to endure anything. Then these verses say, “and you will be truly happy.”
We often hear about the concept of “True Love.” But what is “True Happiness?”
How can you endure all kinds of sufferings and be truly happy at the same time? As a Christian, your happiness does not come from your feelings and emotions! Real Happiness comes from being obedient to God and knowing Him better every day.
Sufferings always end for followers of Jesus. But True Happiness with Jesus never ends! If you Know Jesus, you can also know that suffering for Jesus is temporary. But if You know Jesus, happiness with Him is a permanent state of being!
“Lord Jesus, I know that You went to the Cross looking forward to the joy and happiness of the rest of Eternity. Help me to endure my cross with that same view of my sufferings here on earth. Praise Your Holy and Righteous Name now and forever. Amen.”
