We feel discouraged because we are blindfolded. For those with physical health issues, the blindfold can be the pain they must endure or the looming suffering they foresee. For those with mental health issues, the blindfold can be the persistent thoughts that drag them back to the past or the relentless anxiety that prevents them from moving forward. Although these are valid reasons, they remain superficial.<\/p><p>Let\u2019s remove our blindfolds; the Bible has already revealed why we are discouraged. It is because we are forgetful \u2013 it is all too easy to forget that our Lord Jesus Christ loves and cares for us at all times, and His plans are always the best. When we forget God, our focal point shifts inward, toward ourselves. Did you notice that all the \u2018blindfolds\u2019 mentioned earlier were centered on \u2018self\u2019? This is not a suggestion to ignore our illness or any other realities, but rather an encouragement to find new motivation in life so that we can lift our stalling feet again and start moving forward again.<\/p><p><em>\u201cFor the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:14)<\/em><\/p><p>Sometimes what we see is so encouraging\u2026filled with success and pleasure. But look closer. Are these encouraging views of this world or from God? Are they edifying in God\u2019s perspective? Sometimes all that appears to be well and comfortable are not necessarily good for us. If you are in a luxury comfortable boat, then would you want to jump off into stormy waters to walk on water with Christ?<\/p><p>Long story short, in good times and rough times, let us examine the situation and ourselves and cross check against God\u2019s navigation towards eternal life. Are you on track or off course? Pray for His wisdom to discern and recognize any situation that leads to a new and eternal life with Him.<\/p><p>If we recognize the love of God, we will remember that God chastens who He loves. <em>\u201cFor whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.\u201d (Hebrews 12:6) <\/em>It is not easy \u2013 again, it is not easy \u2013 but if we remember God, recall His promises recorded in the Bible, and surrender to Him, all will be well. Have faith, and let\u2019s begin moving toward Him \u2013 one step at a time.<\/p><p>Come join us so we can move toward our Lord Jesus Christ together! We look forward to seeing you and worshiping our true God together.
