You might have made this statement before ''Its not easy '', or something like ''You don't understand what am going through''.
Yeah, you are 100% right, life isn't easy and smooth. Life is not fair and this is also true. No one can understand your pains, frustrations and agonies simply because no one can be you. For people to UNDERSTAND your pains and agonies, they must STAND UNDER such pains and agonies first then they can feel what you feel. That is the only way they can really understand you.
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Why should we fix our eyes on Jesus and not any other person? Can't be Abraham, Father of faith and God's friend because Abraham lied twice putting his wife Sarah into a tight situation. Not Isaac, for he also lied just like his father. Not Moses, he could not stand the pressure.
Not Jacob, he was a cheat. Not Samuel, he failed as a father and appointed his godless sons as judges over Israel, Not David, yes he killed lions and giants, but was defeated by Bathsheba, Solomon? 1000 women turned his heart against God. Elijah could make fire fall from heaven but couldn't stand Jezebel. Samson killed thousands of people, great might he had but he was helpless on the laps of Delilah
My friend Jesus alone is our perfect example. He was tempted in every way yet without sin. Therefore you can trust him. Fix your eyes on him and you will have victory over your challenges for he once STOOD under what you are standing under today and so I can confidently say that He UNDERSTANDS you perfectly.
Till we meet again, stay blessed and never give up.
Ellis Adjei
