Life doesn’t always feel good, but what a joy there is to behold at the beauty birthed in agony and the triumph in the struggle.
Consider the fascinating work of a woman. For nine months she carries a baby in her womb. The announcement brings great excitement. The movements, the wiggles, and kicks of the life inside never lose their allure. She is the child’s only source of nourishment, the condition of the developing baby relies totally on her. Soon her body knows no comfort due to all the changes. As the gestation process draws to a close she suffers the angst of labor pains. The birth can’t be avoided and neither can the pain of the birthing process. As the baby breeches the birth canal to breakthrough from this secret place there is a release. A release of the pressure and promise. The pain she once knew is overshadowed by the present in front of her.
In that same way, the PURPOSE placed on the INSIDE of YOU MUST BE BIRTHED and you must endure the process.
When you begin to see your purpose breakthrough and manifest there will be an unspeakable joy! The joy and breakthrough will overshadow what you went through.
ONLY YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK, KEEP FORGING AHEAD!
Patient endurance wins the race.
PRAYER
Father, thank you for guiding us & instructing us in the way to go. In the midst of chaos, You are our Peace. Give us the discipline to seek You earnestly and in every waking moment of our day. We know the more we seek You the more apt we are to hear You and when we hear You let us trust in Your guidance. I pray a thirst for Your Word to flood us, so as we learn the Bible we can confirm Your spoken Word with Your written Word.
In Jesus Name, Amen!
SCRIPTURE REFERENCE
woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.
John 16:21-22 (NKJV)
Moreover let us also be full of joy now! let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance fortitude develops maturity of character approved faith and tried integrity. And character of this sort produces the habit of joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.
Romans 5:3-5 (AMP)
DISCLAIMER: The title is simply figurative, I AM NOT advising any reader to have a baby as a means to resolve problems.
