Check out Romans 8:29 and then ask yourself, "if this is true, then how much change might I expect in my life?" (one of my favorites)
Also, Hebrews 12:11 is one that will really strengthen you if you are being disciplined by The Lord.
Rom 8:29....wow..."conformed to the likeness of his Son"...I'd imagine that since I am SO far off of that image, I should hope there will be MUCH change in my life!
Heb 12:11...that is a very encouraging verse...I am thankful that the Word has taught me that the Lord's discipline is actually a great thing, because it sure isn't fun to live through sometimes!
Thanks D!
James 1:2-Consider it pure joy when you face trials of many kinds b/c the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Colossians 3:23-Whatever you do work at it with all your heart as if working for the Lord and not man. (Kinda makes griping and complaining seem silly if you think about WHATEVER you do, you should do it as if doing it for the Lord! Also makes me think twice about the activities I participate in. But I go back to the words of Paul, I do the things I don't want to do and the things I want to do, I don't do. WHYYYYYYYY?????)
Prov 3:5-Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (I don't always understand His ways, but this verse helps remind me to just trust Him and not try to rely on my own understanding...or non-understanding!)
Ephesians 2:8-For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, not by works it is a gift of God. (Sums up the gospel. Eliminates any doubt as to whether or not we can work our way into heaven. It's faith in Christ's death, burial & resurrection. Period.)
