I received this comment from a reader the other day who was responding to my blog titled God's Promise Revisited. I will leave you with this thoughtful comment for today. The I will tackle the third term of what the Advocate came to prove the world wrong about .
"I'd like to think that, if I were to suffer through an illness, family brokenness, or endure a tragedy - my relationship with God would be strong enough to view it as a way that God is trying to communicate with me. Perhaps He is trying to remind me of the blessings that He had given to me in the past. Good health, a rewarding career, loving family and strong relationships come to mind. I would try hard to listen to God speaking to me in a way that would prompt me to remain joyful, and to allow Him lead me in the direction He has in mind. If I simply listen - could God be asking me to help others who are ill, as I am able, or to be involved with youth in positive ways, or to use my heart and hands help rebuild what has been destroyed? I pray that God blesses me with that discernment - through the good and the bad."
This quote, by the way, has a great deal to do with the exegesis of the term "righteousness.
More tomorrow!
