So, I just wanna ask...is it really THAT bad?
Everyday it seems like life gets the better of us.
Our bodies are riddled with aches and pains.
We’re surrounded by people who claim to love us, but will stab us in the back the first moment they get.
Our bills outweigh the money that’s in our bank account.
Things can’t ever seem to get right;
we take one step forward, get knocked back three.
What’s that old saying: ‘If it ain’t one thing it’s another’?
When life beats us down without mercy that’s our mindset.
Sure it might seem bad, but when you really think about it, what we go through down here is pure peaches and cream compared to what Jesus had to endure before leaving this earth.
Don’t believe me?
Maybe this will change your mind:
Matthew 27: 27-30
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
I know that ALL of us have gone through things while here on earth.
We’ve all had our share of hardships;
but nothing, will ever, EVER compare to what Jesus had to endure…for us all.
So before we form our lips to complain when life isn’t going according to our plan, look to the Son of God, and remember what He went through.
Then take a second and ask: 'Is what i’m going through really that bad?'
Think about it…
- B.
