What Is Real, Will Prosper
In challenging times, this reflection encourages a simple yet profound outlook: what truly matters in life? Our relationship with Christ.
What Is Real, Will Prosper
“If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.” If you’ve lost something or someone that was important to you. Try not to worry about it too much. Think about the fact that if it was something real, God will make sure it comes back to you. If not, God has saved you from something, even though you might not know or understand what that something is.
Trusting in the Lord
‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ Jeremiah 29:11 ‘Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”’ John 13:7
The moral of the story is, keep trusting in the Lord. Keep all your faith in Him and all will be well, someday you will understand why the Lord did certain things in your life. You might’ve had to learn certain things first. He might’ve seen things that you didn’t see, He might’ve heard things you didn’t hear. Everything that happens, happens for a reason. Remember that.
