Being a Blessing

"And lest I should be exalted as the revelations are extraordinary, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted. About three times that I've cried out to the Lord, so that the devil's messenger depart from me. But the Lord said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for in weakness power-KU be perfect." Therefore I would prefer to boast of my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest upon me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and calamities for CHRIST. For when I am weak, then I am strong. "2 Corinthians 12:7-10

We as children of God have received the blessing of the Lord, Jesus Christ has saved and redeemed our sins on the cross, and the Lord wants us to be a blessing to others. The Lord has been a blessing to us at the expense of self-HIS, so we have to make sacrifices in order to be a blessing.

When willing to sacrifice to bless others, God will bless us again. The Apostle Paul, he was suffering for the Lord permits there is a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of the devil there is torment apostle Paul. Paul screamed at the Lord so that the Lord took the thorns, but the Lord replied "MY grace is sufficient for you," when he heard that Paul was not forced, because it is precisely in weakness, suffering and the power of the Lord to be perfect in our lives.

Thorn was permitted to exist in Paul's life so that he does not exalt himself, as well as in our lives because often when we helped and blessed by the Lord, we become arrogant. Lord demands in our weakness, we still can give strength to others. This is the meaning of the verse "For when I am weak, then I am strong."

At the moment we are hard we can give encouragement to others, when we are sick we can cheer and give strength to others who are sick. If we can do that then we will receive tremendous joy. Mind and how the Lord is different from the way we think, just when we are weak we have to empower others, it is not humanly possible, but this is the way of His Lord.

In Psalm 56:4 "When I am afraid, I will trust in MU" is a soul who experience fear and feelings, but people who truly believe his spirit will continue to believe in the Lord. Thoughts often intimidate us, but if our spirits are attached to GOD and stick to the word of the Lord, then we will remain strong. Hebrews 10:23 - "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope, for IA, which promised, faithfully."

Our minds do not believe in spirits and wavering but we continue to believe in GOD. Therefore we must fight and must not be weak, but we have to be strong because our hope is the Lord Jesus Christ that makes us a blessing to others.

The Apostle Paul trained his body and control themselves, we must train ourselves. "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Therefore fled in such a way, so that you get it! Each person who took part in the match, her master in every way . they do so to obtain a perishable crown, but we for obtaining an immortal crown. Therefore I do not run aimlessly, and I'm not a boxer who hits only. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest after preaching to people others, I myself will not be rejected. " 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

As believers we practice is when we face a problem, because it let us not despair when faced with a problem when we are weak precisely because the power of the Lord be perfect. Our lives can be strong if we train ourselves through prayer, reading and hearing the Word, praise and worship the Lord.

Mary was very sad when Jesus Christ died and in the grave, Mary felt the Lord Jesus had left him, but the Lord Jesus came when Mary sad. JESUS ​​CHRIST care, and even called on the name of the Lord Jesus Maria. John 20:15 - "Jesus said to her:" Mom, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? " Mary thought it was the keeper of the garden, and said to him, "Sir, if the hosts who took the DIA, tell me, where the hosts put the DIA, so I can take HIS."

JESUS ​​CHRIST matter when we are hard, the Lord Jesus always comes to us, Lord Jesus knows each of our names. Menggundang our Lord Jesus to come to HIM, LORD JESUS ​​will provide relief, we must learn to have a personal relationship with the Lord, if we are close to the Lord we will be sensitive to the voice of the Lord. Matthew 11:28-30 - "Come to Me, all who weary and heavy laden, I will give you rest. Take the KU-pairs yoke and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and your soul shall find rest. KU yoke-yoke is easy and my burden is light. "

In the problem let us not become angry or bersunggut-sunggut, we have to learn as Jesus Christ who is not angry when Lord Jesus was persecuted on the cross, the Lord Jesus was not cursing His enemies, the Lord Jesus surrendered to the Father.

We must learn to JESUS ​​CHRIST to be quiet so that we can be strong, and we should be able to be gentle so that we can be a blessing. Jesus Christ already won and be a blessing to mankind, because the we as believers we must also be a blessing to others, AMEN.

Bless the LORD JESUS.
