Rising to a new level – Part 4 Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross. But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions. Mark 10:21,22 When we make the right choices even in difficult situations, we experience the power of God working in our life through grace. God said in the bible, “My grace is sufficient for you.” When His grace is sufficient for us in all our weakness means it has enough power to strengthen us in all our weakness. This means we can make the right choices even in weakest times and stand for what is right and what is true. Gods grace will strengthen you for it. We find it very difficult to stand for the truth and stand for right things, in difficult times is only because we look at temporary things and dont want to undergo the temporary pain and suffering to receive the long term blessings. To forgive is undergoing temporary pain, but we dont want to go through it and hence we keep it in our hearts and live in unforgiveness for our whole life, even though we know that this bitterness can make us unhealthy and bring many sickness and reduce our immunity. With all this knowledge yet will never forgive. Even the snake has to shed off its old skin to move into a new level. The snake has to let go off its comfortable skin and make the choice to step into the new level. The snake can make the choice to continue to live in the old skin and live in discomfort and pain for ever or make obey and let go off the old skin and move ahead in life, with new attitude, new thoughts, new vision, new strength, new life. Begin your life a new. Begin your life with a new attitude. Begin your life with new energy. Dont let anything or anyone make you stagnant. Dont let you disobedience stop you from moving ahead. Dont be sad if you have let go off things that is holding you behind. Dont be sad to obey God when He asks you to let go off those friends and wrong relations which is holding you behind. It will pinch you, it will give you little pain, but all this will only push you up. Ignore all the negative voice, ignore all the voices that say that why are you doing so much? Its simple, you want much and hence you have to give up much. Dont compromise, be focused and take hold of your promised land by moving ahead. Challenge your faith to believe the impossible and do the impossible. Dont return sad and sorrowful when God has asked you to give up something, instead give it up and rise up to a new level. God bless you. – Jimsen Thomas & Sneha Jimsen
