"Why Me?" is often the first question we ask.
For some of us, the same question pops up when we have a flat tire. Or get a cold. Or get caught in a summer downpour, or...or...
"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14, NIV)
Asking "why me?" doesn't help. - The truth is we all suffer, different times, different ways.
Stay faithful. - Rev. 2:10 NLT
"Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you.
You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life."
Keep Your Eyes on the Prize. - We are called to press on towards the high calling of Christ.
Endure with patience. - 2 Thessalonians 3:5 (NLT) says, "...may the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and
Expression of the love of God...."
So...instead...of...Why me Lord? ...what if we declared, "Lord, why NOT me!"
Just Sayin' ...and I will be seeing you.
