"Those whom I love, I reprove and chastise. Be earnest, therefore, and repent. "I will give the victor the right to sit with me on my throne, as I myself first won the victory and sit with my Father on his throne." Revelation 3:19, 21
If we are honest with ourselves we want the easy way, the path of least resistance, the places of honor. Is this the victory that Jesus is talking about? In our lives we will face adversity, times of trials and opportunities to strengthen our resolve. Look upon these times as ways God is refining you, do not look for pity but count yourself worthy that the Master views you in high regard that You are worthy of His correction. Take the time and look inward, what is He correcting and then go and repent of your sins. The right to the throne is reserved for those who fought the good fight with joy in their heart living the will of the Master. He loves You.
Dear Heavenly Father, we are guaranteed change in our lives and opportunities to do Your will. Help me see the error of my ways and correct what needs correction. Help me overcome my weaknesses of seeking the easy way. Your way is always better but never easy. I thank You Father for this day and the challenges it offers, prayers for a friend enduring difficult chastisement. May this correction be permanent in his life as he is being prepared for the throne. I love You Father God, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
