Proof of God

Do you want proof of God in your life? Your faith will soar when God changes you in that one area you thought would never change.

You might be self-sabotaging because you’re not happy. You need a change. Maybe you think, “I can’t change how I feel about things.” “I can’t change how I deal with things.” “This is just the way that I am.” But you’ll know God is real when he changes you. To be happy in him.

People say, “God loves you just the way you are.” But it’s more than that, because God loves you despite the way you are. And God loves you enough to change the way you are. For his glory, and for your good. In Matthew 5:6, Jesus says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” God wants you to be happy. And he will prove it.

Healing Right Now

Is there something in your past, something you intentionally did, something you know was wrong, and you can’t seem to forget it? You’ve asked God to forgive you. But the thought of it won’t go away. What can you do?

You need to realize that forgiveness is immediate, but healing can take time. So, you believe that you’re forgiven. But you’re traumatized by torturous thoughts. And maybe you think God says you have to live with this pain. But the pain is so great that maybe you’ve self-harmed to disperse it, or self-medicated to avoid it. How can you find healing?

Well, it’s not about forgiving yourself. It’s about letting yourself be healed. There is more mercy and grace in Jesus than sin in you. By faith, you know that he forgives you. And by faith in him, you are on the path of healing. Give God your mind, and walk in that healing right now.

Suffering Well

Sometimes, when bad things happen, it isn’t your fault. Job suffered so many awful things, even though he was blameless. But his friends said he must have done something wrong. Still, he never accused God of doing wrong. And he said that even if God took his life, he would trust him.

You might think God has limited you because he’s angry with you.  But Jesus said that God prunes every branch that bears fruit, so it will bear more fruit. You don’t prune a plant to punish it, you prune a plant to grow it and show it. God trusted Job with suffering, and showed the world his faith.

Maybe your problems aren’t because God is making you an example of judgment. Maybe it’s because God is making you an example of faith. With this limitation or suffering, God is entrusting you with it, not punishing you with it. Suffering well is a witness to the worth of God.
