Nougat 16

Gmorning

How have you been? In great health and spirits? If yes, please share the reflections with a friend. If not, today’s Holy Nougat might be the encouragement needed to get you through.

“Think about Jesus’ example. He held on while wicked people were doing evil things to him. So do not get tired and stop trying.” Hebrews‬ ‭12:3‬ ‭NCV‬‬

Of course, this is easier said than done. There are moments where we honestly feel demotivated and can scarcely overcome. At those times it really feels like what we’re doing isn’t good enough – and it actually isn’t.

Remember Jesus in the garden that night – yup. He called out to Abba (God). So if Jesus Christ Himself recognized the need to appeal to Abba in anticipation of the rough patch He knew was coming; we can do likewise. We can approach God for strength to endure.

If you are waiting for breakthrough, take heart. You are not forgotten. All is not lost. God’s love is still with us! We may need to cry out for help; but there’s hope. We have Someone in our our corner. Who’s been there and set the example.

Rather than punish ourselves, we hold resolutely to the Author and Finisher of our faith.

In Christ’s love and grace . . .
