A Powerful Witness
This confirms that what I told you about Christ is true.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:6 NLT
You may wonder, Would God allow me—His child—to hurt for the sake of reaching an unsaved person? But isn't that what Jesus did for you? He endured the cross that you might be saved. So He will work through you during times of difficulty because nothing gets the attention of an unbeliever like a saint who is suffering successfully.
For example, I read of a pastor who discovered his baby would be born with Down syndrome. He was tempted to be disheartened, but then he read Exodus 4:11, where God said to Moses, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?" So this young pastor declared to his wife, "The Lord has blessed us with a child with Down syndrome." They accepted the situation in faith and, when the baby was born, they shared their joy with everyone. News of their response spread throughout the hospital. The Sunday following the child's birth, thirty nurses went to hear this pastor preach and ended up trusting Jesus as their Savior.
Never underestimate how powerfully your godly attitude to a difficult situation may affect others. Instead, whatever happens, trust Jesus and allow Him to work.
Jesus, may many come to know You as Savior through my struggles. Amen.
My prayer is that this will speak to even one person’s heart in a way that only God can and lead to the reassurance needed and repentance if necessary. Bless His Holy Name, amen!

Be advised: I will not engage in debates about these posts. If you disagree with the content, please realize that the author has gone to be with the Lord.

Scripture references were provided by Dr. Stanley so that people could read the Word of God if they had questions. If you are one of those that choose to call me names and/or berate me over a post, then you have caused blessings for me in being admonished for Christ (Matthew 5:11).
