"For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeit his own soul" - Mark 8:36

YOUR LIFE ISN'T OVER



As we gear up to enter into the new month of the year, let this be the new beginning in our life. Mark 8;:36 says, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?". Our saviour came to earth to save our souls by the shedding His blood on our behalf. He was mocked, beaten, lied on, rejected, whipped, spat on and died so that your and my "SOUL" can live on in eternity with God and not apart from Him. What is the good of worldly wealth, success, prosperity, luxury, approval, enjoyment, pleasure, self-satisfaction, etc. etc. if the end result is that we lose your soul?

We look upon things and desire what we do not have. We invest our lives for the profit of satisfaction in the things we value most. And we honor things of this earth that have no value in God’s eyes. When we surrender ourself to God completely and seek His wisdom to lead our life in the righteous way, He will lead us. Today, we might have been mocked, beaten, lied on, rejected, whipped and undergoing stressful situation, still withstand the toils and turbulence trusting our Saviour to lead.

The heat and trials of our lives are not evidence God is cruel or has left us, but ultimately are evidence of how much God values us and His desire for us to be all He designed us to be. He values us as He finds us but He loves us too much to leave us as He finds us. We would begin to see our issues, trials and struggles as opportunities for God to do something transformational in our lives. He knows what is best for us. TRUST THE PROCESS!
