1 Thessalonians 3:3 — so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them.

What a fantastic reminder that just because we are saved by Grace, doesn’t mean our walk will be easy. The past couple of weeks have been extremely strenuous on my heart and mind. It has been attack after crippling attack. I’ve felt like I have been just limping along. The enemy is feeding me lies about how I’m not good enough for the Kingdom, that I’m worthless.

The truth is, I will never be good enough. That’s why Christ had to die for me and for all of us. To make us new and cleanse us of our sin. We need CHRIST to enter the Kingdom. In the same regard, I don’t have the strength to make it through these trials. Christ carries me through each one. By His strength I am able to see victory after each battle. It is to Him I give all the glory. We are NOT worthless.

Never forget: 1 Corinthians 6:20; 7:23 “you were bought at a price…” Let me say it again: we are NOT worthless; we were purchased by the Blood of Christ! Praise God for His grace!!
