The Impossible Command

A very precious friend and sister sent me a scripture a little while ago. One that tells me how to respond to my current trial. I wouldn’t have had any instruction as to how to cope with what is going on inside of me had the Lord not used her to instruct me. My love is being tested. In ways I never thought would come. I am to rejoice no matter how I feel and what I face. I want to be as committed to this scripture just as much if not more than I am committed to love with all of my might, soul and heart.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

I am thankful for the timing of the Lord. It doesn’t remedy how I am feeling but at least I know that I am not alone in this. The Lord knew that I would need Him. So He came to me. He came to me through a beautiful soul that has been and still gracefully is fighting cancer to live. She is the most amazing tower of strength I have ever personally known.

Rejoice in every circumstance. It seems like a impossible command but I believe that if He requires it of me then he will empower me to do it. He will empower us all.

Always, Jenny
