Who’s Holding You Down?
“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.” After you have suffered a while isn’t what we want to hear. It is through the sufferings we become more mature in Christ. No pain, no gain, has a truth about it. God allows us to suffer not to teach us a lesson the way we think, but the suffering is intended to build steadfast patience and endurance in us not otherwise obtained. We must allow the process to have its perfect work in us until completion. The Lord Himself will restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To be securely established and grounded, settled in life, is a stability we can’t afford to live without in this world. We get pulled from every direction from time to time. But when the Lord has established you and grounded you, the experience of having gone through much suffering successfully, will be a mighty anchor holding you in place. The Lord is here to restore us to our default settings of peace in the storm, and the waters we go through won’t overtake us, and even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear nothing because our true anchor is God Himself.

I and my buddies were following the best recommendations from your website while unexpectedly I had a terrible feeling I never expressed respect to you for those secrets. My guys ended up absolutely excited to read all of them and have in effect quite simply been tapping into those things. Thanks for getting simply kind and then for finding such incredibly good themes most people are really eager to be aware of. My personal sincere regret for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.

I needed to draft you the very little word to finally thank you yet again for these spectacular advice you have shown here. It has been really remarkably generous with people like you to make openly all that most of us would have offered for sale as an electronic book to help make some profit on their own, particularly given that you could have tried it if you desired. The pointers also served to be a great way to fully grasp that someone else have the same desire like my personal own to understand somewhat more on the topic of this problem. I’m sure there are several more pleasurable sessions up front for people who look into your website.
