STRUGGLE......One time I was having a real struggle....got on my knees. The understanding that came to me that day was simply this: "On your knees...good...that is just where you ought to be each day....ask...seek...search...look for Me...knock...Do You think I will lock the door?"
SHARING THE CROSS.......When we are
in suffering...in need of consolation...in need of support...what better place than on your knees in prayer? In the garden, as He suffered and sweat as drops of blood, surely the Father was there in all His abiding love to bless His Son and help Him through.
STRUGGLE......Those who are of this world struggle also but for what? We struggle for a crown that never fades...what eye has not seen...what heart has not imagned...a joy to never end...praise to flow like a river.
WORTHY..............He who does not struggle, is not worthy of the crown that awaits him. He that cannot give anything to the Lord, should not come expecting great blessings.He that wants an easy road to the Kingdom will search in vain. It is only the goodness of God that changes all things. Someone said: "In the end, we shall ALL be surprised......we were saved not because WE were good but because HE is good."
