Enduring Trials Through Christ

Good morning everyone!  Have you ever felt as if you were blindsided by someone, or a group of people? Well, I have many times. It's not a good feeling knowing someone is out to hurt you, and slandering your name with false accusations. 
Well, the most important thing that theHoly  Spirit reminded me that Jesus went through the exact same thing. He was falsely accused, slandered, and suffered the very things we suffer with today while He walked this earth....but more importantly , on the cross.
A person I considered to be a dear friend, accused me of gossiping about her, and when I attempted to call her to talk to her about it...she ignored my calls. However, she made a point of sending me text messages, calling me names such as "mean spirited". I was confused, because I wasn't sure what she was talking about, mainly because I never gossiped about her. Right then and there, GOD reminded me that confusion is not from Him but from the enemy , Satan.
Soon after that, she and her fiancé started a smear campaign against me....telling people we mutually know lies and twisting my words out of context  about things I said...to get them angry at me. That's another thing the enemy does, attack the mind to cause division.
Throughout all of this, I felt hurt, betrayed, and confused...BUT those feelings didn't last long, because I knew in my heart that I didn't do anything wrong and my faith in Christ strengthened me to withstand those as well as other attacks from the enemy.
Today and always, please remember to pray, trust in GOD , and seek Him whenever you endure anything in this world. With Jesus Christ, we are strengthened, encouraged, loved, and redeemed! He knows EVERYTHING about us, even he number of hairs we have on our head and body! Trusting in Him is the best and wisest thing to do! He's faithful to carry you through anything when you rely on, lean on, and trust Him! 
Today, after enduring those attacks from some people I love and thought cared about me, I'm stronger , wiser, blessed, victorious, and assured that everything is working out for my good! You can and will be victorious in every situation and circumstance when you trust GOD and are obedient to Him. GOD bless you, and she encouraged by this reminder and testimony that everything is going to work out for your good....GOD is doing it for me, and I know in my heart He'll do it for you also! ❤

You meant to do me harm, but God meant it for good — so that it would come about as it is today, with many people’s lives being saved. - Genesis 50:20

Since Christ suffered physically, you too must strengthen yourselves with the same way of thinking that he had; because whoever suffers physically is no longer involved with sin. From now on, then, you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God's will and not by human desires. (1 Peter 4:1, 2 GNT)
