TODAY'S RHEMA Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Every time Ariel took a sight of her three-year daughter, she felt sad and full of fear. As a harlot, she worried if her sinful life would impact her daughter's future. Deep in her heart, she had a great desire to repent but their living cost bothered her mind so much. She wanted to pray, however, she felt undeserved to come before God.
Nevertheless, motivated by the great desire for her daughter's salvation and hers, Ariel came to the church boldly. Without feeling shy and doubt, she prayed earnestly not only for a new life but also for the grace of her sinful life. Then, God opened a way. One of her acquaintances offered a job for her and she accepted it right away. It wasn't easy for Ariel to leave her past. She had to work hard for earning money. Many taunts and scorns also came from her surrounding. However, God blessed and took care of Ariel. He gave her a kind, faithful and loving husband who also loved her child.
Sometimes, we do not understand how great God's plan for our life so that we only ask for small things. We don't have any courage to pray for the great things which have been promised for us, as His children. Remember, our Father is Almighty. He has everything. Think about what we really need for, whether a victorious life, extraordinary-spiritual life, doubled anointing or unlimited grace. Have a big faith and stand fast as a spiritual giant. Don't limit our need for spiritual things, ask for more. Great passion in our hearts will give us the courage to pray for those things. God longs for us to come close and ask for the great things for the glory of His name. REFLECTION Saudara Terkasih, GREAT PASSION gives you the COURAGE to PRAY for GREAT THINGS APPLICATIONS 1.
