1 Peter 2:19, 20
19 For this is a gracious
thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.
20 For what credit is it
if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do well and
suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.
To endure sufferings is not a small thing or
an easy thing. But with GOD, when we have our relationship with JESUS, HE makes
this easy. The sufferings would seem nothing when JESUS holds our hand. Then we
conquer those sufferings so that peace comes into our heart, and thereby, our faith
strengthens, leading to fulfillment
of our prayers.
It is impossible to please GOD without faith.
Faith moves GOD to do great things for us, to answer our prayers.
That is why,
JESUS says in Mathew
11: 28-30,
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my
yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you
will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
We should allow GOD to carry our burden;
we can shift our burden to JESUS only when we are in a relationship with JESUS.
The deeper our relationship
with JESUS, the lighter our burden.
