The Christian Journey part 2

Posted on by asherdc89

God knows us better than we know ourselves, and sees exactly who we are. Knowing all that which is inside of us. Including the secret sins we hide from others. He exposes to us who we really are by the fires of affliction. Allowing us to go through situations, and permitting the change of circumstances.

Our sufferings, following the example of Christ will primarily be unjust. And its intensity will be equal to the injustice we face. 

And how we deal with it gives us only 2 choices. To either harden our hearts against God or allow Him by faith to make us like gold purified in the fire until we reflect His image.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
