How long has it been? How long have you been asking for something you see no evidence of coming to pass? How long have you been waiting, hoping, praying, fasting, warring for, pressing in about this OneThing that you desire? Days? Months? Years? Decades?
Here's the good news. The Rewards of Your Suffering are not the rejection you've received but the Faith it has produced, the Hope is has bore, and the Love it has uncovered. The Rewards of Your Suffering are not the end result, but the Process toward Victory. Your lack, or not having enough "ness", is NOT a basis of your character. It's a perspective to be seen in the outlook of Hope. What an honor it is to befall trial after trial, not because we are self deprecating, but because what of the opposite? What if life were simple? Would we be able to have faith when something did go wrong? Would we be able to see the goodness in even the littlest bad that may arise? Who would we be if negatively or persecution weren't an almost daily occurrence? The Accusor seeks to defame and destroy us. Some, he passes by without so much as thinking about. Why is he all up in my business?! Could it be that because I have withstood his attacks and deigned to stay righteous as possible and allowed God to mold me and shape me in these trials, that the Accusor sees me as a direct threat to his kingdom? HOMIE HOLD UP! You mean Satan, as big and as bad as he is, is scared of me messing up stuff for him? So he takes my money and takes my family and takes my friends and etc, until all I have left is my Heart and my relationship with God and maybe some food n clothes?! Then truly, I consider all trials a JOY, because I am even more so filled with Faith to know I am more powerful than I could fathom. I am filled with Hope, to know that God is using my trials to work me into an Unconditional Lover and Warrior. I am filled with Love for all as best I can be. This is why I stay my course. And I entreat you: Stay Yours. Find the Reward for your Suffering in the fact that you're still alive and still able to Love Well. And whatever you're waiting on God for, mount up with Wings like Eagles and see your situation from the perspective of Victory. Sing On, Wounded Warriors.
