John 16:33 These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
There is no doubt about it. Being a Christian does not exempt you
from bad things not happening. Many doubt God’s love and care when bad things
happen. “If He is a God of love, why did He let this happen?” The journey we
walk is filled with events that will cause us to search our heart and test our
faith. In a world that is filled with darkness, will we let our light
shine, or will we let the darkness shut our light out? Jesus said, when you
face hard times and life situations become hard to bare, He says, “cheer up, I
have this under control”. It is human to take our eyes off the Master of the
sea and look around at the billowing waves. But Jesus has promise not to leave
us or forsake us. The Comforter has come to cheer us up and help us to
withstand the darkness, and let our light shine. This world is full of
darkness and tribulation. May the light of Christ in you pierce the
darkness of this world.
