thriving in agony and torment…. 1
Corinthians 10:24
Nobody should seek his own
good, but the good of others. (NIV) What
a ridiculous idea! Thriving in torment? Thriving in agony? Thriving in the worst
times of your life? However, thriving in agony and torment is the whole idea of
victory in Christ. Thriving in agony and torment, thriving when thriving is the
most impossible thing to do, thriving when your chances are slim to none you
will even survive, is the very essence of your victory in life. Of course, you
may survive but you cannot thrive without God. To thrive in agony and torment
you need to have God alive and living within you. Because to have God alive
within you means for every hurt there is His comfort…a comfort infinitely
greater than your hurt. You can thrive in agony and torment because the agony
put upon you by your selfishness is let go by His touch changing your
selfishness to unselfishness. You can thrive in the agony and torment of living
for revenge because your need to get even is let go by His touch to help you be
forgiving. You can thrive in the agony and torment of always living for yourself
because your agony and torment comes to an end when you learn the fullness of
life comes to you when you live for Him. You can thrive in the agony and torment
of your inner pain because your inner pain comes to an end when you let yourself
be immersed in His healing love and grace. |
