1 Corinthians 15:58, NIV
“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” There are four seasons each year and the weather changes just like the human heart. From history we see that when the circumstances change, most people will also change. I won’t say that doesn’t also apply to me because I am not different from you and I am human just as you are. I just want to share the fact that the world is like that and it has been since the beginning. We claim we are Christ’s followers, that we believe in Him and we love Him, but how are we different from the people in the time when Jesus was on earth? Do you remember the day Jesus was riding on the donkey and the people shouted and praised Him saying “Hosanna''? Yet, do you also remember just a few days later when Jesus was being judged in the hall and the same people shouted “crucify Him”? What is the difference between these two days? Did the circumstances change? Or did the heart of the people change? Let’s be honest with our own heart, we give thanks on the day we feel blessed and we have no problem trusting Him and His love, but how about the days when we feel disappointed, the day when we have been cheated, the day when we fail, or the day we find no answer and feel like we are alone in the corner? Do we still trust that He is God and He is love? God never changes, so can we stand firm like Mary Magdalene who never changed her love for Jesus? My girlfriends, I believe we can if we choose to make this decision. Let’s have faith in our God and stand firm and let nothing move our love for Him. |
