Undeniable

These passages mean so much to me right now:

"Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator." 1 Peter 4:19

"Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter." 1 Peter 4:16

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you." 1 Peter 5:8-10

"For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God." 1 Peter 2:20


God is so mighty and worthy of our praise. Through the good and the bad, He is faithful always. My purpose is so clear and so simple- to live according to God's will, to bring glory to Him in everything I do, to spread the gospel to those who do not know Him yet, to worship, love, and follow the Lord with all of my heart- chasing after Him with all that I've got.
<3 He is holy.
