Becoming perfect

Heb 5:7-8
7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.
(ESV)
I once put up a post about how Jesus yielded Himself to the will of the Father, even when it was the most difficult thing to do at the time. He had pleaded that the cup be taken away, but eventually resigned to asking that the Father's will be done since it  was obviously his destiny to suffer death.
I came across this scripture in Hebrews today, explaining what really happened that night at the garden when Jesus was praying and my eyes became heavy.
First, it gives a picture of how Jesus (Son of the living God) prayed; with loud cries and tears and deep supplications and can u imagine that the bible says God heard Him? That's what blew my mind. If God heard Him, how come He still had to die?
It's the same way we feel sometimes.
If God heard me, how come my loved one still died?
If God heard me, how come I still lost the job?
If God heard me, how come I still didn't get the admission,  job or contract?
If God heard me, how come we didn't get married?
If God heard me, how come I'm not yet pregnant?
But God is a Spirit, not a man. That He hears us doesn't mean He answers the way we expect all the time. The Father heard Jesus and all He did was send an angel to comfort Him. Not take the pain away, but to comfort Him in the face of pain and death.
Sometimes, that's what God does for us. He just let's us go through the fire anyway and in the end, just like Jesus, we have one sure souvenir. We would have learned obedience and become perfect (Heb 2:10) through what we suffer.

Opportunity mixed with difficulty.

Refuse to worry

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me: John14:1. Why worry about  your future when God who holds your future in his hands says don't. Worry is interest paid in advance on a loan you have not taken. I realized over time that most of d things i worried about never happened... Needless pains. Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives u something to do, but won't get u anywhere. Someone said and I quote 'Blessed is d man who is too busy to worry in d daytime, and too sleepy to worry at night'. Proverbs 12:25 says 'Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up'. The greatest mistake u can make in life is to continually fear u will make one. Worry, doubt, fear and despair are d enemies of progress, therefore i have learned to live each day as it comes. Worrying is a time waster and wasting time is wasting life. Live your life to the best of your potential; be the King's best because you're the only one of you that God has; don't live your life trying to prove yourself to someone else; prove yourself to God because He is the one that really counts and until/unless the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ gets into your spirit and gets rid of these negatives, you haven't yet known the Lord.

It is painful

Its painful, its hard, sometimes tearful, you might even loose (temporarily); but if you master the art of going in the opposite direction from where your body is leading you, you will be doing what men term impossible and eventually conquer the world.

The greatest deeds

The greatest victories are yet to be won.
The greatest deeds are yet to be done.
The eagle soars only because there are contrary winds.
Your adversaries are truly your opportunity.
Again, we would never appreciate flight without gravity.

Simple and painful

Its painful, its hard, sometimes tearful, you might even loose (temporarily); but if you master the art of going in the exact opposite direction from where your body is leading you, you will be doing what men term impossible and eventually conquer the world.
