“Give up the illusion that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As I told My disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in heaven” – Jesus Calling
So convicting. And I’m just reminded this morning that I don’t want to give the girls in Puerta de Esperanza the idea that I am rescuing them from their lives. I want them to know Jesus. And I want them to know that whatever their life brings, He walks with them in it and through it. I can’t save them from past or future trouble, but I can help them to know the One who gives them a problem-free eternity.
