Kanaan Message for Today

DR-August

 

You keep thinking, ‘Why does God, who says that He is a Father of love, lay this cross upon me?’ Do not keep your eyes on yourself but on Jesus, who entered glory through the cross. Your cross is meant to be a ship carrying you to the City of God, where you want to go. To this day there is no other way to glory. It is the cross and suffering that prepare eternal blessedness for us, according to Scripture. So look forward with joy to the heavenly glory. In faith live even now as though already having attained the heavenly goal. Then the things that are difficult to bear will become easy. (Acts 14:22; 2Timothy 2:12)
