1. The Bible Scriptures:

– Let’s see what the Bible has to say about God’s will vs. our will John:

18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thes 5:18

Do you know that the Bible calls ungratefulness terrible times? (2 Tim 3:1-2)
Do you love your enemies, do good to them, lend without asking anything back. God is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful. (Luk 6:35-36)
God says you have a foolish heart if you do not give thanks or glorify Him as God even though you claim to know Him. (Rom 1:21)

I know that the first century Christians believed they will gain a better ressurection when they suffered gruesome deaths. (Heb 11:36-40)
We glory in our sufferings because it produces perseverance, character and hope. (Rom 5:3-4)
Our suffering is not comparable with the glory that will be revealed in us. (Rom 8:18)
Since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. (1 Pet 4:1)

"You are where God wants you to be at this very moment. Every experience is part of His divine plan." -

My pleasure Francois please pray with me.
Good Morning Lord.
It is just amaizing that you would give all of us a 100% chance to become a Christian.
Father is is always challenging to see Your love for us and calling us to immitate You.
Help me to have a plan for the people I can influence in my life and make every effort to help them to be close to You.
Help me to make every effort to go and make disciples of all nations in my generation.
Father I know that it seems like an impossible chance but You can do anything if I am willing to put in the work.
Help me to fight the good fight of faith for other people as well, loving them like You do.
I know loving You with all my heart is the standard, the same love I have for my wife every day.
God I pray that my life will bring You the glory You deserve.
Amen.
