Aceasta este una dintre acele promisiuni ale lui Dumnezeu la care revin mereu cand sunt descurajat (da, se intampla asta si pastorilor). Poti sa te gandesti la altceva mult mai incurajator decat ca Dumnezeu se bucura facandu-ti bine? El nu renunta in a-Si indeplini promisiunea (Romani 8:28). Este bucuria SA in a-ti face bine. Si nu doar din cand in cand, ci Intotdeauna! “Nu voi renunta in a le face bine”.

This is one of those promises of God that I come back to again and again when I get discouraged (yes, that happens to pastors). Can you think of any fact more encouraging than that God rejoices to do you good? He doesn't begrudgingly fulfill His promise (Romans 8:28). It is His ''joy ''to do you good. And not just sometimes. Always! "I will ''not turn away ''from doing good to them."

But sometimes our situation is so hard to bear we just can't muster any joy. When that happens to me I try to imitate Abraham: "In hope he believed ''against hope''" (Romans 4:18). God has always been faithful to guard that little spark of faith for me and eventually (not right away) to fan it into a flame of happiness and full confidence.

O how glad I am that the thing that makes Almighty God happiest is doing good for you and me!

Dar uneori situatia in care ne aflam este asa de greu de suportat, incat nu putem sa invocam nici o bucurie. Cand mi se intampla asta, incerc sa il imit pe Abraham: “In speranta, el credea impotriva sperantei” (Romani 4:18). Dumnezeu a fost mereu credincios in a pastra o scanteie mica de credinta pentru mine si eventual (nu chiar imediat ) sa o prinda intr-o flacara de fericire si de incredere totala.

"I will make with them an everlasting covenant that I will not turn away from doing good to them ... I will rejoice in doing good to them" (Jeremiah 32:40, 41). 

This is one of those promises of God that I come back to again and again when I get discouraged (yes, that happens to pastors). Can you think of any fact more encouraging than that God rejoices to do you good? He doesn't begrudgingly fulfill His promise (Romans 8:28). It is His joy to do you good. And not just sometimes. Always! "I will not turn away from doing good to them."

But sometimes our situation is so hard to bear we just can't muster any joy. When that happens to me I try to imitate Abraham: "In hope he believed against hope" (Romans 4:18). God has always been faithful to guard that little spark of faith for me and eventually (not right away) to fan it into a flame of happiness and full confidence.

O how glad I am that the thing that makes Almighty God happiest is doing good for you and me!

Resting in the Promise,

Pastor John
