This day, the Lord rewards you for the good you have done.
Afflictions are consolations. You must first fall before you can stand. You must first be sick before you can get healed. No one receives consolation if he is not under the state of affliction.
If you are made to give up something which is of value to you, you struggle with God's Will. This kind of reservation limits you to what you have and prevents you from receiving an even more overflowing of God's graces.
Give it all to God! Many times, you say, "I surrender everything to the Lord for I trust in Him". This usually happens when you are in a state of experiencing problems and difficulties. When things turn out to be well again, you tend to go back to your old ways of doing things on your own.
Be principle minded and maintain your integrity. Do not allow ambition, selfishness and greed to rule over your life. Pray that you be more concerned with receiving God’s love for you and sharing it than wreaking vengeance on the lives of those towards whom you are jealous. Likewise, take no action against those who are jealous of you and wants to harm you. Let the Lord be their judge.
Repay evil with good and do not stoop to the wrong actions of those who offend you. Always respond with love and kindness to others regardless of how they treat you. Do not be tempted to grab power by way of wrongful means or when given the opportunity to do so.
