I don’t deserve this……… !

II Cor. 4: 8 – 10
We are HEDGED IN and PRESSED on every side [TROUBLED &OPPRESSED in every way], but not cramped or crushed;

we SUFFER EMBARASSMENTS and are PERPLEXED and UNABLE TO FIND A WAY OUT, but not driven to despair;

We are pursued (PERSECUTED and HARD DRIVEN), but not deserted [to stand alone];

we are STRUCK DOWN TO THE GROUND, but never struck out and destroyed;

Always CARRYING ABOUT IN THE BODY [physically, mentally & emotionally] the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered,

[WHY?]
so that the resurrection life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.

Pray the Word:
Lord, I perplex myself every time I resort to whining, ‘Why me? I don’t deserve this. I didn’t ask for this!’. Well . . . . remind me that I did ASK FOR THIS when I ASKED JESUS INTO MY LIFE & said I’d follow Him. It’s not about ME – it is all about HIM.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
