“For just as the sufferings of Christ Flow Over into our lives, so Also through Christ our comfort Overflows.” 2 Cor. 1 (NIV)
Flowing over in Love, Compassion, Mercy, Grace, Forgiveness, Doing the Right Thing by All, Health, and Standing Up for Good, Justice, Kindness, and Helping Others = Jesus’ Life. Amid the temptations, betrayals, and suffering, Jesus lived as though His life was just as important as All Other’s lives. He kept going = Perseverance. He kept teaching = Endurance. He kept loving = Comfort. He stood up in the face of evil.
During these hard times on earth we, as the Body of Christ = the Church (not the building), must also stand up in the face of evil that has established strongholds in the dark. It’s time to Shine Jesus’ light amid the dark like never before and flush out evil wrongdoing = Flowing Over with Jesus.
Those who strive to mirror this life get back up when life’s burdens knock us down, find the tenacity to love the unlovable who betray our trust, give selflessly expecting nothing in return, seek the joy amongst the sadness, and find the will to smile in the face of adversity. We find this capability only from within and whether you know it or not, it comes from Jesus.
Jesus’ life Flows through our veins. We must but choose whether to tap into living that life on earth, or not. Joining Him allows His strength to join forces with ours and the courage to Stand Up for Right, Honesty, Good, God comes, sometimes unexpectedly surrounding circumstances where we never thought it could happen. Rise Above the evil, chaos,
I Stand. Whose with me?
