“What Is Important…”
by Dona Hake
Jesus said, ” I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.” Oh the power of His unfailing love. He has promised to be with us no matter what.
“What is important is that you are
holding on,
that you have a grip on Christ and
He will not let your hand go.”
Mother Teresa
May we have a determination to hold a tight grip on our Lord because His strength never fails, He will not let go of us. The scripture I want to share with you today is from 2 Corinthians 4:7-11 from the Easy-to-Read Version.
“We have this treasure from God, but we are only like clay jars that hold the treasure. This is to show that the amazing power we have is from God, not from us. We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We often don’t know what to do, but we don’t give up. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed. So we constantly experience the death of Jesus in our own bodies, but this is so that the life of Jesus can also be seen in our bodies.”
…and praise God He will never ever let go of us! Today let us meditate upon how we have been molded for the use of the Master. We are as beautiful and fragile clay jars that hold the treasure which is to show His glory amazing and wonderful things to all around us. Let us not be discouraged by what our eyes see or do not see but rather let us determine that we will hold on to Jesus’ hand, for He and His unfailing love has promised to never let go! We are more than conquerors!
