God has a plan for you (Jer. 29:11) and you will make it through this time of testing. Keep on believing and moving forward and you will see Him working out the details. God is never early or late but His timing is always perfect.

John‬ ‭14:23‬
“Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.”

Our proof of love for Jesus is in obedience to His commandments and living our lives worthy of the calling to which He has qualified us. The more we know Jesus, the more we love Him. More importantly, we cannot have revelation of who Jesus is without the Holy Spirit because it is the Spirit that “...takes of what is the Lord’s and reveals to us” (John 16:14). Through fellowship with Him, He makes the love of God real to our hearts.

Jesus said in John 14:24 “He who does not love Me does not keep My words...”. It is possible to honour God with your words and yet have your heart in disobedience. One may ask, is it possible to measure one’s love for the Master? Emphatically, yes! How enthused are you with the things of God? How often do you tell others about Jesus? How often do you fellowship with the Lord through His word, prayer and worship? Do you walk by faith? Do you see and love people as God sees and loves them?

One of the most critical indicators of our love for Jesus is revealed in how we treat others. If we cannot love people unconditionally and be quick to forgive them when they hurt and disappoint us, then our love for the Lord is questionable!
We are God’s representatives in the earth. When men look at us, they should see the extension of God’s love in and through us. Let men see Jesus through our lives.

The Christian life involves a cross.
So as Christians, we must arm ourselves with an attitude that is prepared for trouble and hardship.
God can use bad things that happen to us for good.
