When life gets tough or goes against us we may feel like giving up. But what would have happened if Jesus gave up before the cross-work was done?

The Good News is that in faith we never leave the presence of Jesus, in the midst of tough times Paraclete comforts us. Creator sees us through the eyes of Jesus and loves us and sees the beauty of our lives that Jesus made possible.

So, to start with, hang in there.

Next, let your faith loose and let God make good of whatever happens because of your love for God and your choice to live in the calling, will and mission of the One Who Saved you (Romans 8:28).

Endure the snow and beauty will emerge

“Remember the past, when you first learned the truth. You endured a lot of hardship and pain. At times you were publicly insulted and mistreated. At times you associated with people who were treated this way. You suffered with prisoners. You were cheerful even though your possessions were stolen, since you know that you have a better and more permanent possession. So don’t lose your confidence. It will bring you a great reward. You need endurance so that after you have done what God wants you to do, you can receive what he has promised. Yet, the one who is coming will come soon. He will not delay.
The person who has God’s approval will live by faith.
But if he turns back, I will not be pleased with him.
We don’t belong with those who turn back and are destroyed. Instead, we belong with those who have faith and are saved” (Hebrews 10:32-39 God’s Word).
