Endurance

Colossians 1:10-12

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

Was spending some time pouring my heart out to God, all my fears of today and tomorrow. Sometimes will be overwhelmed by responsibilities and concerns of others and self, tiredness, and not being able to see or hope for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Then i was comforted by the above passage, to be strengthen by His power to have great endurance. And i looked back at the past 12-months, re-counting the times God has provided endurance in work, studies, relationships. Times when God is faithful, and being reminded that it is at all times.

If i'm like a wet clay spinning 'round to be molded. I think it's painful to feel & see the best part of your clay being chipped off while you're caught up in this crazy whirlwind. But the molder is always above the whirlwind, he sees the masterpiece in you, and he is full of love and in control.

So i will embrace the purpose, learn to abide and be in peace.
