People in their 20’s who think life sucks, or is hard or seems unfair… I just think to myself “wow you have no idea!” Life hasn’t even warmed up yet… thats like the sparring partner of Mike Tyson complaining about how mean Mike is… hold on a second there junior… you aren’t even the enemy… you think thats hard - be glad you are not the opponent - or in Mikes case - the enemy! 

 

 

What happens in life that for many of us after a few years of being out on our own with our own family we get tired of trying… maybe even cynical. We have lost the art of dreaming or taking chances or risk. Maybe we even start to secretly think life is unfair and we begin to look down on anyone who seems to be living their dreams….

 

You have to hand it to Jesus… he prepared the disciples. He did not make it sound like it was just going to be sunshine and lollipops. He told them there will be persecution… but he told them to stop when they were persecuted and life got hard… UH NO! 

 

You might miss the fact that Jesus did a great job of promoting a vision of each disciples life and future. He even changed some of their names to reflect that. Peter the Rock, James and John Sons of Thunder! But even in those pictures of who they were going to become he made sure they knew it was not going to be easy! 

 

Danger signs:

You become envious, lazy, cynical or depressed because plans have just not gone according to your dreams or expectations. 

Some of us are living in our own man made hell because we are filled with disappointment… and why? Because we were never told that life will be filled with disappointment, failure and hardships… 

We love verses like “for I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you, and give you hope and a future blah blah blah… 

 

But we also have the balance of scripture… like 

 

Romans 8:35–39

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;

we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

 

James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

 

 

When someone has an easier life than you consider the following:

  -  You don’t know the whole story

  -  Theirs may just be around the corner

   -  They don’t have any stories (I can brag on God)

    - They lack maturity due to an easy life (my growth has come from hard times) 

 

Are you cynical or Christ centered?

Are you bored or believing

Are you passing on or pushing in

Are you opting out or opening up

 

Push into God! Yes there will be setbacks… push in anyway!
