Rejoice! — Basilea Schlink

Hope for Those Facing Despair

God lives and works today. This joyful message doesn't apply only to the strong and happy. It is meant above all for those of us who would like to despair in the face of the world situation or in the face of the dark pathways in our own personal lives.

Today's meditation by Basilia Schlink is a special message for all those among us who are sad.

Redemption Near in Times of Suffering

Yes, God is a father of goodness. Therefore, in times of trouble and darkness, lift up your head. The suffering of these times is a proclamation that the hour of redemption is at hand. Rejoice! The end of the darkest pathways will bring us entrance into the unimaginable joy of heaven.

Living in Expectation of Christ's Return

One day, for the whole world, it will bring the return of Christ when he will appear in glory. You can live now in joyful expectation of this day. When you live in anticipation of the future glory, you will be able to taste a bit of heaven already here on earth in every difficulty.

Looking Beyond Earthly Pain to God's Kingdom

For the horror and pain on earth are not the end. No, the end will be peace and joy and the glory of God and his kingdom. Concern yourself with his glory. Set your heart and thoughts now on his kingdom.

Don't live in the present, in the anxieties and cares. Rather, live in the future, in the heavenly glory for which you're being prepared on earth. Don't concentrate on the darkness in and around you. Instead, look at the dawning light of Jesus, the son of all sons, who wants to draw you to himself, into his kingdom of light.

Making Jesus the Center of Life

Only one thing is important for you right now. Let Jesus become the center of your life, for he is the center of heaven to whom you will be drawn one day. And if you let your life revolve around him now, you will experience in the midst of your suffering that no one can rob you of heaven, of Jesus himself.

Rejoicing in Christ's Coming

Rejoice! You're headed towards him, and Jesus is coming soon.
