Direction for the week

“Living according to God’s Will is blessing.”
Matthew 26:25, Ephesians 1:3-5, Matthew 19:11, Matthew 25:15

~ People who live the way they want are people who live by themselves and people who live according to God’s Will are people who live walking with God and the Lord. God has a common Will for all human beings. [That Will] is for [all] people to listen to the Words of the Messiah Lord, believe in him, believe in God, love God, cherish God and serve Him according to the Word, and live according to His Word.

~ Don’t make your judgments based on seeing just a brief moment in the process. Instead, you must withhold judgment till the end.

~ If you think God’s blessing doesn’t involve any suffering but instead involve joy everyday and not loneliness or solitude, then that’s a wrong thought. If you look at the history of the bible you can know that the central figures, prophets, judges, the disciples, and everyone who followed each time period went through even more hardships the more they lived according to God’s Will. All of them ultimately followed the path on which they receive the blessings God gives them forever. That was the Kingdom of God, an eternal inheritance. The higher the mountain you climb, the tougher it is to do. The more accomplishments you build up, the more hard work it takes. In the same way, in order to gain eternal things, one will put in more efforts and experience more hardships.

~If the word “Bible” were condensed down to one word, it would be, “God’s Will [뜻].” The word, “God’s Will,” contains within it salvation, heaven, true love, and absolute obedience. Contained in it are mercy, caring, forgiveness, prayer, thanksgiving, joy, hope, victory, strength, power, miracles, signs, health, wishes, success and dreams. It is to gain these things that we work hard, put in the efforts, and endure tribulations, persecutions, injustices, hardships, hunger, poverty, pain, and suffering.
